Given: O(0, 0), B(-6, 9), C(12, -3)
As P divides OB in the ratio 1 : 2, we have

straight P identical to open parentheses fraction numerator 1 cross times open parentheses negative 6 close parentheses plus 2 cross times 0 over denominator 1 plus 2 end fraction comma fraction numerator 1 cross times 9 plus 2 cross times 0 over denominator 1 plus 2 end fraction close parentheses equals open parentheses negative 2 comma space 3 close parentheses As space straight Q space divides space OC space in space the space ratio space 1 space colon space 2 comma space we space have straight Q identical to open parentheses fraction numerator 1 cross times 12 plus 2 cross times 0 over denominator 1 plus 2 end fraction comma fraction numerator 1 cross times open parentheses negative 3 close parentheses plus 2 cross times 0 over denominator 1 plus 2 end fraction close parentheses equals left parenthesis 4 comma space minus 1 right parenthesis PQ equals square root of open parentheses negative 2 minus 4 close parentheses squared plus open parentheses 3 plus 1 close parentheses squared end root equals square root of 36 plus 16 end root equals square root of 52 equals 2 square root of 13 BC equals square root of open parentheses negative 6 minus 12 close parentheses squared plus open parentheses 9 plus 3 close parentheses squared end root equals square root of 324 plus 144 end root equals square root of 468 equals 6 square root of 13 rightwards double arrow PQ equals 1 third BC
