Let O be the origin and 'P' be a point which is at a distance of 3 units from the origin. If the direction ratios of OP are (1,-2,-2), then the coordinates of 'P' are
  1. (1,2,2)
  2. (3,6,6)
  3. 13,23,23
  4. 19,29,29

Solution

Given that 

Direction ratios of OP are 1, -2, -2

Distance between origin and point P is 3 = r.

Direction cosines of OP are l, m, n = 13, -23,-23

Coordinates of point P = x, y, z = lr, mr, nr = 13×3, -23×3, -23×3= 1, -2, -2
