14. Show that the vector is equally inclined to the axes OX, OY, and OZ.
Solun:- Let =
Direction ratios in is:- a = 1, b = 1, and c = 1
We know that:- direction cosine in the form of direction ratio is:-
, , and
We know that direction cosine is the cosine of direction angles and direction cosines of are equal then makes the same angle with all the axes.
Hence given vector is equally inclined to the axes OX, OY, and OZ.
15. Find the position vector of a point R which divides the line joining two points P and Q whose position vectors are and respectively, in the ratio 2:1.
(i) internally (ii) externally
Solun:- Let = and =
And point R() divides line joining by and
(i) internally in the ration of 2:1

Then
We know that:-
For midpoint
17. Show that the points A, B, and C with position vectors, ,, and respectively form the vertices of a right angled triangle.
Solun:- Given Vectors:-
41 = 35 + 6
41 = 41
So,
Hence ABC is right angle triangle.
18. In triangle ABC, which of the following is not true:
Solun:- According to triangle law of addition:-
So option B is correct.
We know that:-
So option A is correct.
Also:-
So option D is also correct.
Hence option C is not true.
The correct answer is C.
19. If and are two collinear vectors, then which of the following are incorrect:
(C) the respective components of and are proportional
(D) both the vectors and have same direction, but different magnitude
Solun:- According to the definition of collinear vector:- Parallel vectors are said to be collinear vectors irrespective of their magnitude.
Such that , is non-zero scalar.
So, option A is true.
Here is -1 or 1 that is a non-zero scalar.
So, option B is correct.
And option C is also correct because and are proportional so components of and are also proportional.
Option D is incorrect because vectors having the opposite direction are also collinear.
The correct answer is D.
