If `P(x,y,z)` is a point on the line segment joining `Q(2,2,4)` and `R(3,5,6)` such that projections of `vec(OP)` on the axes are `13/5,19/5,26/5` respectively, then `P` divides `QR` in the ratioA. `1:2`B. `3:2`C. `2:3`D. `3:1`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
The coordinates of `P` are `(13/5,19/5,26/5)`
Suppose, `P` divides `QR` in the ratio `lamda:1`. Then the coordinates of `P` are `((3lamda+2)/(lamda+1),(5lamda+2)/(lamda+1),(6lamda+4)/(lamda+1))`
`implies (3lamda+2)/(lamda+1)=13/5,(5lamda+2)/(lamda+1)=19/5,(6lamda+4)/(lamda+1)=26/5implieslamda=3/2`
Hence required ratios is `3:2`.
