Question

Given below are two statements:
Statement I: The vector equation of line passing through two points with position vector $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$ is $\vec{r} = \vec{a} +\lambda(\vec{b}+\vec{a})$
Statement II: The vector equation of a straight line passing through a fixed point with position vector $\vec{a}$ and parallel to a given vector $\vec{b}$ is $\vec{r}=\vec{a}+λ\vec{b}$ where λ is scalar.
In the light of the above Statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
