    Find a vector of magnitude 5 along BA where coordinates of points A and B are (0, 1, 3) and   (1, 4, 6) respectively

    A) \[\left( \frac{5}{\sqrt{19}} \right)[\hat{i}+3\hat{j}+3\hat{k}]\]

    B) \[-\left( \frac{5}{\sqrt{19}} \right)[\hat{i}+3\hat{j}+3\hat{k}]\]

    C) \[5[\hat{i}+3\hat{j}+3\hat{k}]\]

    D) \[-5[\hat{i}+3\hat{j}+3\hat{k}]\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] \[\overset{\to }{\mathop{BA}}\,=\overset{\to }{\mathop{OA}}\,-\overset{\to }{\mathop{OB}}\,=(\hat{j}+3\hat{k})-(\hat{i}+4\hat{j}+6\hat{k})\] \[=-\hat{i}-3\hat{j}-3\hat{k}\] Unit vector along \[\overset{\to }{\mathop{BA}}\,=-\hat{i}-3\hat{j}-3\hat{k}/\sqrt{19}\]
