उत्तर
In triangle OAB,\[\angle\]AOB = 90º. P and Q are points of trisection of AB.
Taking O as the origin, let the position vectors of A and B be \[\vec{a}\] and \[\vec{b}\] respectively.
Since P and Q are the points of trisection of AB, so AP : PB = 1 : 2 and AQ : QB = 2 : 1.
Position vector of P, \[\vec{OP} = \frac{2 \vec{a} + \vec{b}}{3}\] ..................(Using section formula)
Position vector of Q,
\[\vec{OQ} = \frac{\vec{a} + 2 \vec{b}}{3}\]
\[\therefore \vec{a} . \vec{b} = 0\] ................(1)
Now,
\[{OP}^2 + {OQ}^2 \]
\[ = \left| \vec{OP} \right|^2 + \left| \vec{OQ} \right|^2 \]
\[ = \left( \frac{2 \vec{a} + \vec{b}}{3} \right) . \left( \frac{2 \vec{a} + \vec{b}}{3} \right) + \left( \frac{\vec{a} + 2 \vec{b}}{3} \right) . \left( \frac{\vec{a} + 2 \vec{b}}{3} \right)\]
\[ = \frac{4 \left| \vec{a} \right|^2 + 4 \vec{a} . \vec{b} + \left| \vec{b} \right|^2 + \left| \vec{a} \right|^2 + 4 \vec{a} . \vec{b} + 4 \left| \vec{b} \right|^2}{9}\]
\[= \frac{5 \left| \vec{a} \right|^2 + 5 \left| \vec{b} \right|^2}{9}.............. \left[ \text{ Using } \left( 1 \right) \right]\]
\[ = \frac{5}{9}\left( \left| \vec{a} \right|^2 + \left| \vec{b} \right|^2 \right)\]
\[ = \frac{5}{9} \left| \vec{AB} \right|^2 ........................\left[ \text{ Using Pythagoras Theorem } \right]\]
\[ = \frac{5}{9} {AB}^2\]
