Question

Let \( ABC \) be a triangle and \( \vec{a}, \vec{b}, \vec{c} \) be the position vectors of \( A, B, C \) respectively. Let \( D \) divide \( BC \) in the ratio \( 3:1 \) internally and \( E \) divide \( AD \) in the ratio \( 4:1 \) internally. Let \( BE \) meet \( AC \) in \( F \). If \( E \) divides \( BF \) in the ratio \( 3:2 \) internally then the position vector of \( F \) is:

• A. \( \frac{\vec{a} + \vec{b} + \vec{c}}{3} \)
• B. \( \frac{\vec{a} - 2\vec{b} + 3\vec{c}}{2} \)
• C. \( \frac{\vec{a} + 2\vec{b} + 3\vec{c}}{2} \)
• D. \( \frac{\vec{a} - \vec{b} + 3\vec{c}}{3} \)

Hint:

Remember to use the section formula for internal division to find the position vectors in geometric vector problems.
