For any two points MM and NN in the XYX Y-plane, let MN→\overrightarrow{M N} denote the vector from MM to NN, and 0→\overrightarrow{0} denote the zero vector. Let P,QP, Q and RR be three distinct points in the XYX Y-plane. Let SS be a point inside the triangle △PQR\triangle P Q R such that SP→+5SQ→+6SR→=0→\overrightarrow{S P}+5 \overrightarrow{S Q}+6 \overrightarrow{S R}=\overrightarrow{0}. Let EE and FF be the mid-points of the sides PRP R and QRQ R, respectively. Then the value of  length of the line segment EF length of the line segment ES\frac{\text{ length of the line segment } E F}{\text{ length of the line segment } E S} is ________

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

\begin{aligned} &\because \overrightarrow{\mathrm{SP}}+5 \overrightarrow{\mathrm{SQ}}+6 \overrightarrow{\mathrm{SP}}=\overrightarrow{0}\\ &\text{ (Let P.V.\text{ of } } P \text{ be } \vec{p}, Q \text{ be } \vec{q} \text{ and } R \text{ be } \vec{r} \text{ ) }\\ &\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow(\vec{p}-\vec{s})+5(\vec{q}-\vec{s})+6(\vec{r}-\vec{s})=\overrightarrow{0} \\ & \Rightarrow \vec{S}=\frac{\vec{p}+5 \vec{q}+6 \vec{r}}{12} \\ & \Rightarrow \overrightarrow{E F}=\left(\frac{\vec{q}-\vec{p}}{2}\right) \\ & \Rightarrow \overrightarrow{E S}=\left(\frac{5 \vec{q}-5 \vec{p}}{12}\right)=\frac{5}{12}(\vec{q}-\vec{p}) \\ & \therefore \frac{|\overrightarrow{E F}|}{|\overrightarrow{E S}|}=\frac{6}{5}=1.2 \end{aligned} \end{aligned}$
