Position of a particle in a rectangular ...

Position of a particle in a rectangular -co-ordinate `(3,2,5)`. Then its position vector will be

A

`3hat(i) + 5hat(j) + 2hat(k)`

B

`3hat(i) + 2hat(j) + 5hat(k)`

C

`5hat(i) + 3hat() + 2hat(k)`

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`3 hat(i) + 2hat(j) + 5hat(k)`
If a point has coordinate (x,y,z) then the position vector of the point `x hat(i) + y hat(j) + z hat(k)`
