    The vector equation of the line joining the points \[i-2j+k\] and \[-2j+3k\] is [MP PET 2003]

    A)            \[r=t(i+j+k)\]                          

    B)            \[r={{t}_{1}}(i-2j+k)+{{t}_{2}}(3k-2j)\]

    C)          \[r=(i-2j+k)+t(2k-i)\]

    D)            \[r=t(2k-i)\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               Vector equation of a straight line passing through two points a and b is, \[\mathbf{r}=\mathbf{a}+t(\mathbf{b}-\mathbf{a})\]                    Þ \[\mathbf{r}=(\mathbf{i}-2\mathbf{j}+\mathbf{k})+t\,(2\mathbf{k}-\mathbf{i}).\]
