If i ^ + 4 j ^ + 3 k ^ , i ^ + 2 j ^ + 3 k ^ , 3 i ^ + 2 j ^ + k ^ are position vectors of A , B , C…

If i^+4j^+3k^,i^+2j^+3k^,3i^+2j^+k^ are position vectors of A,B,C respectively and if D,E are mid points of sides BC and AC, then DE is equal to
  1. i^+j^+k^
  2. i^+j^
  3. j^
  4. j^+k^

Solution

Given, i^+4j^+3k^,i^+2j^+3k^,3i^+2j^+k^ are position vectors of A,B,C respectively.

D is mid point of BC, then position vector of D is 1+3i^+2+2j^+3+1k^2=2i^+2j^+2k^

Similarly, position vector of E is 1+3i^+4+2j^+3+1k^2=2i^+3j^+2k^

Then, DE=2i^+3j^+2k^-2i^+2j^+2k^=j^.
