The coordinates of the point which divides the line joining the points $(2,3,4)$ and $(3,-4,7)$ in the ratio $2: 4$ externally is
  1. $(10,1,1)$
  2. $(1,10,1)$
  3. $(10,-10,10)$
  4. $(1,1,10)$

Solution

Coordinates of the point which divides the line joining the points $(2,3,4)$ and $(3,-4,7)$ in the ratio $2: 4$ externally $ \begin{aligned} & =\left(\frac{2(3)-4(2)}{2-4}, \frac{2(-4)-4(3)}{2-4}, \frac{2(7)-4(4)}{2-4}\right) \\ & =(1,10,1) \end{aligned} $
