Let the position vectors of points P ,   Q ,   R and S be a → = i ^ + 2 j ^ - 5 k ^ , b…
- The points and are NOT coplanar
- is the position vector of a point which divides internally in the ratio
- is the position vector of a point which divides externally in the ratio
- The square of magnitude of the vector is
Solution
Given,
Now solving options,
Option checking points are coplanar,
Now if points are coplanar then,
Now solving L.H.S, we get,
Hence, they are coplanar
So option is wrong.
Now solving, option we get,
Now let point divides the we get,
So, on taking coefficient of we get,
, hence option is correct and option is wrong,
Now solving option we get,
,
Hence, option is wrong.
