Q70 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2022 (04 Jul Shift 2) · Mathematics

OABC is a tetrahedron. If D,E are the midpoints of OA and BC respectively, then DE→=

  • A
    12OA→+OB→+OC→
  • B
    12OA→+OB→-OC→
  • C
    12OA→-OB→+OC→
  • Correct answer
    D
    12-OA→+OB→+OC→

Solution

It is given that OABC tetrahedron. And, D is the mid-pont OA→ and E→ mid-point od BC→

Figure​​​​​​​

So, let

OA→=a→

OB→=b→

OC→=c→

Since, D is the mid-point of OA→, therefore

D→=a→2

OE→=b→+c→2

Now,

DE→=OE→-OD→

⇒DE→=b→+c→2-a→2 ⇒DE→=-a→+b→+c→2

⇒DE→=12-OA→+OB→+OC→

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