Detailed Solution

OP=2ıȷ^+k^
Given: OA=2ıȷ^k^,OB=2ı^ȷ^+2k^, Ratio =2:1 
Now the poison vector of a point P which divides the line segment joining A and B in the ration 2 : 1 s given by, mB+nAm+n
Hence,
OP=2(2i^j^+2k^)+1(2i^j^k^)2+1=4i^2j^+4k^+2i^j^k^3=6i^3j^+3k^3=2i^j^+k^
The position vector of a point P which divides the line segment joining A and B in the ratio 2 : 1 is OP=2i^j^+k^
