Question 39 IGCSE_MODEL_QUESTIONS_VOL1 • 2019 • MATHEMATICS • objective

In a coordinate plane, the position vectors of points A, B and D with respect to the origin O are \(\vec{OA} = (2,\,-1)\), \(\vec{OB} = (k,\,3)\) and \(\vec{OD} = (4,\,5)\) respectively. Point D lies on the segment BC such that \(BD:DC = 1:2\). If triangle OAB is right‑angled at O, determine (i) the value of \(k\), (ii) the position vector \(\vec{OC}\), and (iii) the area of triangle OAB (in square units) correct to two decimal places.

Answer Options

A. k = 2.0, OC = (8, 10), area = 4.00
Correct Answer B. k = 1.5, OC = (9, 9), area = 3.75
C. k = 0.5, OC = (7, 11), area = 5.25
D. k = 1.0, OC = (10, 8), area = 3.00
Correct Answer
B
Correct Option:
k = 1.5, OC = (9, 9), area = 3.75
