JEE Advanced 2025 · Paper 1, Mathematics question 9
For any two points M and N in the XY-plane, let MN denote the vector from M to N, and 0 denote the zero vector. Let P, Q and R be three distinct points in the XY-plane. Let S be a point inside the triangle ΔPQR such that
SP+5SQ+6SR=0.
Let E and F be the mid-points of the sides PR and QR, respectively. Then the value of
length of the line segment ESlength of the line segment EF
is _____.
Answer and worked solution
Official answer: 1.15
Position of S. With position vectors, P+5Q+6R=12S.
