Here are the solutions to the remaining questions.

Q1) The position vector M, N and R from the origin are m\mathbf{m}, n\mathbf{n} and r\mathbf{r} respectively. If R is a point on MN⃗\vec{MN} such that MR⃗=14RN⃗\vec{MR} = \frac{1}{4}\vec{RN}, find an expression for r\mathbf{r} in terms of m\mathbf{m} and n\mathbf{n}.

Step 1: Express the vectors MR⃗\vec{MR} and RN⃗\vec{RN} in terms of their position vectors.

MR⃗=r−m\vec{MR} = \mathbf{r} - \mathbf{m} RN⃗=n−r\vec{RN} = \mathbf{n} - \mathbf{r}
