OABC is a parallelogram. OA = 2a and OC = 3c. M is the midpoint of BC. T is the point on OB such that OT : TB = 2 : 1.
- (a)Find OB in terms of a and c.[1]
- (b)(i)Express, as simply as possible, in terms of a and c AM[1]
- (b)(ii)Express, as simply as possible, in terms of a and c AT.[2]
- (c)Show that ATM is a straight line.[2]

Mark scheme
Marking points from the official mark scheme (May/June 2023). The mark or mark type is shown in brackets.
- [1] 2a + 3c final answer
- [1] 3c - a final answer
- [2] 2c - (2/3)a or (6c - 2a)/3 final answer
- [2] dep on correct AM and AT B1 for AM = (3/2)AT oe and AM is parallel to AT and both go through A so ATM is a straight line OR TM = c - (1/3)a and AT = 2TM and AT is parallel to TM and both go through T so ATM is a straight line
