Answer: \frac{7}{3}\vec{a}+\frac{4}{3}\vec{b}

Hint: You must know the rules of vector functions

Given: Write the position vector of the point which divides the join of points with position vectors 3\vec{a}-2\vec{b} &2\vec{a}+3\vec{b} in ratio 2:1

Solution: Let R be the point which divides the line joining point with vectors.

3\vec{a}-2\vec{b}&2\vec{a}+3\vec{b} in ratio 2:1

And

\overrightarrow{O A}=3 \vec{a}-2 \vec{b}

\overrightarrow{O B}=2 \vec{a}+3 \vec{b}

Here m: n=2: 1

Position vector of \overline{O R}is as follows

\overline{O R}=\frac{m \overline{O B}+n \overline{O A}}{m+n}

=\frac{2(2 \vec{a}+3 \vec{b})+1(3 \vec{a}-2 \vec{b})}{2+1}

=\frac{4 \vec{a}+6 \vec{b}+3 \vec{a}-2 \vec{b}}{3}

=\frac{7 \vec{a}+4 \vec{b}}{3}

=\frac{7}{3} \vec{a}+\frac{4}{3} \vec{b}
