QJEEM25Mae36c: JEE Main 2025 Physics - Class 11 JEEM25Mae36c Solution: Let the position vectors of the vertices and C of a tetrahedron …
Let the position vectors of the vertices A,B and C of a tetrahedron ABCD be i^+2j^+k^,i^+3j^−2k^ and 2i^+j^−k^ respectively. The altitude from the vertex D to the opposite face ABC meets the median line segment through A of the triangle ABC at the point E. If the length of AD is 3110 and the volume of the tetrahedron is 62805, then the position vector of E is
Multiple Choice Options
A61(7i^+12j^+k^)
B121(7i^+4j^+3k^)
C61(12i^+12j^+k^)
D21(i^+4j^+7k^)
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
