The points O, A, B, X and Y are such that `bar(OA)=bar(a), bar(OB)=bar(b), bar(OX)=3bar(a) and bar(OY)=3bar(b)," find "bar(BX) and bar(AY)` in terms of `bar(a) and bar(b)`. Further if the point p divides `bar(AY)` in the ratio 1 : 3 then express `bar(BP)` interms of `bar(a) and bar(b)`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`bar(BX)=3bar(a)-bar(b), bar(AY)=3bar(b)-bar(a), bar(BP)=(3bar(a)-bar(b))/4`
