Three points A,B, and C have position vectors `-2veca+3vecb+5vecc, veca+2vecb+3vecc` and `7veca-vecc` with reference to an origin O. Answer the following questions?
B divided AC in ratio

A

`2:1`

B

`2:3`

C

`2:-3`

D

`1:2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`because 2OA-3OB=OC=0`

`implies OB=(2OA+OC)/(3)`
`implies B` Divides AC in 1:2.

Three points A,B, and C have position vectors -2veca+3vecb+5vecc, veca+2vecb+3vecc and 7veca-vecc with reference to an origin O. Answer the following questions? Which of the following is true?

A, B, C and D have position vectors veca, vecb, vecc and vecd , repectively, such that veca-vecb = 2(vecd-vecc) . Then

[veca+2vecb-vecc,veca-vecb,veca-vecb-vecc] =

[veca+2vecb-vecc,veca-vecb,veca-vecb-vecc]=

For non zero vectors veca,vecb, vecc (veca xx vecb). Vecc= |veca| |vecb||vecc| holds iff:

Prove that [veca+vecb vecb+vecc vecc+veca]= 2[veca vecb vecc]

Prove that [veca+vecb, vecb+vecc, vecc+veca]=2[veca,vecb,vecc]

If two vectors veca and vecb such that |veca|=2|vecb|=3 and veca.vecb=4 . Find |veca-vecb| .

Show that points with position vectors 2veca-2vecb+3vecc,-2veca+3vecb-vecc and 6veca-7vecb+7vecc are collinear. It is given that vectors veca,vecb and vecc and non-coplanar.

If veca+2vecb+3vecc=vecO , then vecaxxvecb+vecbxxvecc+veccxxveca=
