The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the point where the two particles A and B meet, given their respective paths defined by the equations of the lines they move along. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the equations of the lines**: - For particle A: The equation is \( x + 2y + 3 = 0 \). - For particle B: The equation is \( 2x + y - 3 = 0 \). 2. **Rearrange the equations**: - For particle A, rearranging gives: \[ x = -3 - 2y \] - For particle B, rearranging gives: \[ y = 3 - 2x \] 3. **Substitute the expression for x from particle A into the equation for particle B**: - Substitute \( x = -3 - 2y \) into \( y = 3 - 2x \): \[ y = 3 - 2(-3 - 2y) \] - Simplifying this: \[ y = 3 + 6 + 4y \] \[ y - 4y = 9 \] \[ -3y = 9 \] \[ y = -3 \] 4. **Find the corresponding x-coordinate**: - Substitute \( y = -3 \) back into the equation for particle A: \[ x = -3 - 2(-3) = -3 + 6 = 3 \] 5. **Determine the position vector at the time of meeting**: - The position vector \( \mathbf{r} \) at the meeting point is: \[ \mathbf{r} = 3 \hat{i} - 3 \hat{j} \] 6. **Final Answer**: - The positive vector at the time of meeting is: \[ \mathbf{r} = 3 \hat{i} - 3 \hat{j} \]
