Let O be the origin. We are given the position vectors OA⃗=a\vec{OA} = \mathbf{a} and OB⃗=b\vec{OB} = \mathbf{b}.

From the problem statement:

  1. OX⃗=54OA⃗=54a\vec{OX} = \frac{5}{4}\vec{OA} = \frac{5}{4}\mathbf{a}
  2. OY⃗=2OB⃗=2b\vec{OY} = 2\vec{OB} = 2\mathbf{b}
  3. AC⃗=6AB⃗\vec{AC} = 6\vec{AB}

From the diagram, points O, B, C are collinear. This means OC⃗\vec{OC} is a scalar multiple of OB⃗\vec{OB}. Let $\vec{OC} = k\vec
