    Which me of the following is a point on the straight line \[\vec{r}=(-5\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+3\hat{k})\,+\,t\,(9\hat{i}-5\hat{j}+3\hat{k})\]?

    A)  \[(13,-8,\,7)\]

    B)  \[(4,-3,\,5)\]

    C)  \[(-14,7,\,6)\]

    D)  \[(22,-13,12)\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Given, straight line is \[\vec{r}=(-5\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+3\hat{k})+\,t\,(9\hat{i}-5\hat{j}+3\hat{k})\] which is the line passing through the point \[-5\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+3\hat{k}\] and parallel to the vector \[9\hat{i}-5\hat{j}+3\hat{k}\]. From the options taking option  \[(22,-13,12)\] Let   \[\vec{a}=-5\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+3\hat{k}\] \[\vec{c}=22\hat{i}-13\hat{j}+12\hat{k}\] \[\overrightarrow{AC}=\vec{c}-\vec{a}\] \[=(22\hat{i}-13\hat{j}+12\hat{k})-(-5\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+3\hat{k})\] \[=27\hat{i}-15\hat{j}+9\hat{k}\] \[=3(9\hat{i}-5\hat{j}+3\hat{k})\] which is parallel to vector \[\vec{b}\,(9\hat{i}-5\hat{j}+3\hat{k})\]. Thus, we have shown that \[\overrightarrow{AC}\] is parallel to \[\vec{b}\]. Hence,  \[\vec{c}\] lies on the given line. Hence, option  is correct.
