    Equation of line passing through the points\[\overrightarrow{a}={{a}_{1}}\hat{i}+{{a}_{2}}\hat{j}+{{a}_{3}}\hat{k}\]and \[\overrightarrow{b}={{b}_{1}}\hat{i}+{{b}_{2}}\hat{j}+{{b}_{3}}\hat{k}\]is (where t is a scalar)

    A)  \[\overrightarrow{r}=\overrightarrow{a}+\overrightarrow{b}\]        

    B)  \[\overrightarrow{r}=\overrightarrow{a}+t(\overrightarrow{b}-\overrightarrow{a})\]

    C)  \[\overrightarrow{r}=\overrightarrow{a}+t\overrightarrow{b}\]       

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     \[\overrightarrow{a}={{a}_{1}}\hat{i}+{{a}_{2}}\hat{j}+{{a}_{3}}\hat{k}\] and    \[\overrightarrow{b}={{b}_{1}}\hat{i}+{{b}_{2}}\hat{j}+{{b}_{3}}\hat{k}\] The line passing through\[\overrightarrow{a}\]and\[\overrightarrow{b}\]is \[\overrightarrow{r}=\overrightarrow{a}(1-t)+t\overrightarrow{b}\] Or \[\overrightarrow{r}=\overrightarrow{a}(\overrightarrow{b}-\overrightarrow{a})t\]
