Question
Find the position vector of a point R which divides the line segment joining points $\text{P}\big(\hat{\text{i}}+2\hat{\text{j}}+\hat{\text{k}}\big)$ and $\text{Q}\big(-\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}+\hat{\text{k}}\big)$ in the ratio 2 : 1.Internally

Answer

Given: R divides the line segment joining the points $\text{P}\big(\hat{\text{i}}+2\hat{\text{j}}+\hat{\text{k}}\big),\text{Q}\big(-\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}+\hat{\text{k}}\big)$ in the ratio 2 : 1 internally.
Therefore position vector of $\text{R}=\frac{2\big(-\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}+\hat{\text{k}}\big)+1\big(\hat{\text{i}}+2\hat{\text{j}}+\hat{\text{k}}\big)}{2+1}$
$=\frac{1}3\big(-\hat{\text{i}}+4\hat{\text{j}}+3\hat{\text{k}}\big)$
