Q68 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2021 (19 Aug Shift 2) · Mathematics

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

  • A
    i^+j^+k^
  • B
    i^+j^
  • Correct answer
    C
    j^
  • D
    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^.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
