Answer:-2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+\hat{k}

Hint:-To solve this equation we use standard formula.

Given:-The position vectors of two points A and B are \overrightarrow{O A}=2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}-\hat{k} \text { and } \overrightarrow{O B}=2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+2 \hat{k}  respectively. The position vectors of a point Pwhich divides the line segment joining A and B in the ratio 2:1 is ----

Solution:- \vec{a}=2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}-\hat{k}

                                            

\begin{aligned} &\vec{b}=2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+2 \hat{k} \\\\ &m=2 ; n=1 \end{aligned}

Section formula:

Internal   =\frac{m \vec{b}+n \vec{a}}{m+n}

\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow \frac{m \vec{b}+n \vec{a}}{m+n} \\\\ &=\frac{2(2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+2 \hat{k})+1(2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}-\hat{k})}{2+1} \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} &=\frac{4 \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+4 \hat{k}+2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}-\hat{k}}{3} \\\\ &=\frac{6 \hat{i}-3 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}}{3} \\\\ &=2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+\hat{k} \end{aligned}
