Let ( u = i -2 j ) and ( v =-3 i +5 j ). Consider three points (P, Q ) and (R ) having position vectors ( -1 7 i , -1 4 j ) and (-2 i +3 j ) respectively. Among these, the points in the line segment passing through ( u ) and ( v ) are
Options
- AOnly (P ) and (Q )
- BOnly (P ) and (R )
- COnly (Q ) and (R )
- DAll (P, Q ) and (R )
Correct answer
A. Only (P ) and (Q )
Step-by-step solution
Given vectors ( u = i -2 j ) and ( v =-3 i +5 j ). Now, equation of line segment passes through the points ( u ) and ( v ) is ( x-1 4 = y+2 -7 ) ...(i) Now, the point vectors having position vectors ( O P =- 1 7 i , O Q =- 1 4 j ) and ( O R =-2 i +3 j ) are given. The point (P (- 1 7 , 0 ) ) by putting in line (i) ( - 1 7 -1 4 = 2 -7 -8 4 7 = 2 -7 -2 7 = 2 -7 ) ( ) Point (P (- 1 7 , 0 ) ) satisfied the line, so it is on the line segment (i) The point (Q (0,- 1 4 ) ) by putting in line (i) ( 0-1 4 = - 1 4 +2 7 - 1 4
