The correct answer is:
We have,
Let and intersect at .
Let have position vectors respectively.and divide segments and internally in the ratio .
By the section formula for internal division,
And,
From ,
From ,
Equating both values of , we get
LHS is the position vector of the point which divides segment internally in the ratio
RHS is the position vector of the point which divides segment internally in the ratio .
But is the point of intersection of and .
divides internally in the ratio .
