To find the position vector of point R that divides the line joining points P and Q in the ratio 2:1, we will solve the problem in two parts: (i) for internal division and (ii) for external division. ### Given: - Position vector of point P: \( \vec{OP} = 3\vec{a} - 2\vec{b} \) - Position vector of point Q: \( \vec{OQ} = \vec{a} + \vec{b} \) ### (i) Internal Division ...
