Need solution for RD sharma maths class 12 chapter 22 Algebra of Vector exercise 22.5 question 11

Answers (1)

\lambda=8 and \mu =-5

Hint: here we use sector formula

 \frac{\left ( mx_{2}+nx_{1} \right )}{m+n},\frac{\left ( my_{2}+ny_{1} \right )}{m+n}

Where m,n are the given ratios

Given: the position vectors of points A, B and C are

\vec{A}=\lambda \hat{i}+3\hat{j}\\\vec{B}=12\hat{i}+\mu \hat{j}\\\vec{C}=11\hat{i}-3\hat{j}

Solution:

It is given that C, divides the line segment joining A and B in the ratio 3:1

\begin{aligned} &11 \hat{\imath}-3 \hat{\jmath}=3 \times(12 \hat{\imath}+\mu \hat{\jmath})+1(\lambda \hat{\imath}+3 \hat{\jmath}) \\ &11 \hat{\imath}-3 \hat{\jmath}=\frac{36 \hat{\imath}+3 u \hat{\jmath}+\lambda \hat{\imath}+3 \hat{\jmath}}{4} \\ \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}&11 \hat{\imath}-3 \hat{\jmath}=\frac{(36+\lambda) \hat{\imath}+(3 \mu+3) \hat{\jmath}}{4} \\ &4(11 \hat{\imath}-3 \hat{\jmath})=(36+\lambda) \hat{\imath}+(3 u+3) \hat{\jmath} \\ &44 \hat{\imath}-12 \hat{\jmath}=(36+\lambda) \hat{\imath}+(3 u+3) \hat{\jmath} \end{aligned}
Equating the corresponding components, we get;

36+\lambda=44\\ \lambda=44-36\\ \lambda=8
and
3\mu+3=-12\\ 3\mu=-12-3=-15\\ \mu=\frac{-15}{3}=-5\\ \mu=-5

Thus, the values of \lambda and \mu are 8 and -5 respectively
