    If position vector of points A, B, C are respectively i, j, k and \[AB=CX,\] then position vector of point X is [MP PET 1994]

    A) \[-\,\mathbf{i}+\mathbf{j}+\mathbf{k}\]         

    B) \[\mathbf{i}-\mathbf{j}+\mathbf{k}\]

    C) \[\mathbf{i}+\mathbf{j}-\mathbf{k}\]               

    D) \[\mathbf{i}+\mathbf{j}+\mathbf{k}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[\overrightarrow{AB}=\overrightarrow{CX}\Rightarrow \mathbf{j}-\mathbf{i}=\text{P}\text{.V}\text{.}\,\text{of}\,X-\mathbf{k}\Rightarrow \text{P}\text{.V}\text{.}\,\text{of}\,X=-\mathbf{i}+\mathbf{j}+\mathbf{k}\]
