Find the position vectors of the points ...

Find the position vectors of the points whicch divide the join of points `A(2a-3b) and B(3a-2b)` internally and externally in the ratio 2:3.

A

`(12)/(5)a+(13)/(5)b`

B

`(12)/(5)a-(13)/(5)b`

C

`(3)/(5)a-(2)/(5)b`

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Position vectors of the points which divides internally is
`(3(2a-3b)+2(3a-2b))/(5)=(12a-13b)/(5)`
