CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. For m:nm : n internally: mb⃗+na⃗m+n\frac{m\vec{b} + n\vec{a}}{m + n}, with m=1m = 1 on BB's side.

  2. (5,3,−2)+2(2,−3,4)3=(3,−1,2)\frac{(5, 3, -2) + 2(2, -3, 4)}{3} = (3, -1, 2).

Worth noting

(4,1,0)(4, 1, 0) puts the 2 on BB; that point is nearer BB, in the ratio 2 : 1.
