Let O be the origin and P be the point at a distance 3 units from origin. If direction ratios of OP are (1,-2,-2), then coordinates of P is given by

A

(1,-2,-2)

B

(3,-6,-6)

C

`(1//3,-2//3,-2//3)`

D

`(1//9,-2//9,-2//9)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`therefore` Direction cosines of OP are `(1/3,(-2)/3,(-2)/3)` also OP=r=3
Now, point P is given by P(lr,mr,nr).
i.e., `P(x,y,z)=P[1/3(3),-(2/3)3,(-2/3)3]=P(1,-2,-2)`
