Application +4 | -1

Let

\vec{p}

and

\vec{q}

be the position vectors of

P

and

Q

respectively, with respect to

O

and

|\vec{p}|=p,|\vec{q}|=q

. The points

{R}

and

S

divide

{PQ}

internally and externally in the ratio

2: 3

respectively. If

\overrightarrow{O R}

and

\overrightarrow{O S}

are perpendicular, then

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

9 p^{2}=4 q^{2}

Option A (9 p²=4 q²) is correct because it is derived from the condition that the vectors OR and OS are perpendicular, leading to a dot product of zero.
