A hint to get started
Find a displacement and prove a line intersection ratio
Relatively to an origin O, the position vectors of A, B and P are , and respectively, where a and b are non-zero and non-parallel vectors. The point Q lies on the line segment OP such that OQ:QP=2:1. The line AQ cuts OB at R.
(i) Find, in terms of a and b, . marks
(ii) Show that . marks
