If OACB is a parallelogram with OC = a and AB = b , then OA = - Vidyadip

MCQ

If OACB is a parallelogram with $\overrightarrow{\text{OC}}=\vec{\text{a}}$ and $\overrightarrow{\text{AB}}=\vec{\text{b}}$, then $\overrightarrow{\text{OA}}=$

A
$\big(\vec{\text{a}}+\vec{\text{b}}\big)$
B
$\big(\vec{\text{a}}-\vec{\text{b}}\big)$
C
$\frac{1}2\big(\vec{\text{b}}-\vec{\text{a}}\big)$
✓
$\frac{1}2\big(\vec{\text{a}}-\vec{\text{b}}\big)$

✓

Answer

Correct option: D.

$\frac{1}2\big(\vec{\text{a}}-\vec{\text{b}}\big)$

Given a parallelogram OABC such that $\overrightarrow{\text{OC}}=\vec{\text{a}}$ and $\overrightarrow{\text{AB}}=\vec{\text{b}}$. Then,
$\overrightarrow{\text{OB}}+\overrightarrow{\text{BC}}=\overrightarrow{\text{OC}}$
$\Rightarrow\ \overrightarrow{\text{OB}}=\overrightarrow{\text{OC}}-\overrightarrow{\text{BC}}$
$\Rightarrow\ \overrightarrow{\text{OB}}=\overrightarrow{\text{OC}}-\overrightarrow{\text{OA}}$ $\Big[\because\overrightarrow{\text{BC}}=\overrightarrow{\text{OA}}\Big]$
$\Rightarrow\ \overrightarrow{\text{OB}}=\vec{\text{a}}-\overrightarrow{\text{OA}}\ \dots(1)$
Therefore,
$\overrightarrow{\text{OA}}+\overrightarrow{\text{AB}}=\overrightarrow{\text{OB}}$
$\Rightarrow\ \overrightarrow{\text{OA}}+\vec{\text{b}}=\vec{\text{a}}-\overrightarrow{\text{OA}}$ [Using (1)]
$\Rightarrow\ 2\overrightarrow{\text{OA}}=\vec{\text{a}}-\vec{\text{b}}$
$\Rightarrow\ \overrightarrow{\text{OA}}=\frac{1}2\big(\vec{\text{a}}-\vec{\text{b}}\big)$
