Q1

Let the position vectors of the points \(P, Q, R\) and \(S\) be \(\vec{a}=\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-5 \hat{k}, \vec{b}=3 \hat{i}+6 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}, \quad \vec{c}=\frac{17}{5} \hat{i}+\frac{16}{5} \hat{j}+7 \hat{k}\) and \(\vec{d}=2 \hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}\), respectively. Then which of the following statements is true?

[JEE Advanced 2023]

a

The points \(P, Q, R\) and \(S\) are NOT coplanar

b

\(\frac{\vec{b}+2 \vec{d}}{3}\) is the position vector of a point which divides PR internally in the ratio \(5: 4\)

c

\(\frac{\vec{b}+2 \vec{d}}{3}\) is the position vector of a point which divides PR externally in the ratio \(5: 4\)

d

The square of the magnitude of the vector \(\vec{b} \times \vec{d}\) is 95
