Let `P(2,-1,4)` and `Q(4,3,2)` are two points and as point `R` on `PQ` is such that `3PQ=5QR`, then the coordinates of `R` are

A

`(14/5,3/5,16/5)`

B

`(16/5,7/5,14/5)`

C

`(11/4,1/2,13/4)`

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Clearly, `R` diveides `PQ` internally in the ratio `2:3`. So the coordinates of `R` are
`((2xx4+3xx2)/(2+3),(2xx3+3xx(-1))/(2+3),(2xx2+3xx4)/(2+3))` or `(14/5,3/5,16/5)`
