or you can use Menelaus theorem  ((AC)/(CO))×((OD)/(DB))×((BE)/(EA))=1  (1/2)×(2/1)×((BE)/(EA))=1  ⇒BE: EA=1: 1  ⇒OE^→ =(1/2)OA^→ +(1/2)OB^→   ⇒μ=(1/2)  ((DB)/(BO))×((OA)/(AC))×((CE)/(ED))=1  (1/1)×(3/1)×((CE)/(ED))=1  ⇒CE: ED=1: 3  ⇒OE^→ =(1/4)OD^→ +(3/4)OC^→   ⇒λ=(1/4)

$${or}\:{you}\:{can}\:{use}\:{Menelaus}\:{theorem} \\ $$$$\frac{{AC}}{{CO}}×\frac{{OD}}{{DB}}×\frac{{BE}}{{EA}}=\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}×\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{1}}×\frac{{BE}}{{EA}}=\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{BE}:\:{EA}=\mathrm{1}:\:\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{O}\overset{\rightarrow} {{E}}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}{O}\overset{\rightarrow} {{A}}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}{O}\overset{\rightarrow} {{B}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mu=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\frac{{DB}}{{BO}}×\frac{{OA}}{{AC}}×\frac{{CE}}{{ED}}=\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{1}}×\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{1}}×\frac{{CE}}{{ED}}=\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{CE}:\:{ED}=\mathrm{1}:\:\mathrm{3} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{O}\overset{\rightarrow} {{E}}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}}{O}\overset{\rightarrow} {{D}}+\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}{O}\overset{\rightarrow} {{C}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\lambda=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}} \\ $$

(a)  (i)  CD=−CO+OD=−(4/3)a+4b  CE=λCD=−((4λ)/3)a+4λb  ⇒OE=OC+CE=(4/3)a−((4λ)/3)a+4λb=((4(1−λ))/3)a+4λb  (ii)  AB=AO+OB=−2a+2b  AE=μAB=−2μa+2μb  OE=OA+AE=2a−2μa+2μb=2(1−μ)a+2μb    (b)  ((4(1−λ))/3)=2(1−μ)  ⇒2(1−λ)=3(1−μ)  ⇒3μ−2λ=1      ...(i)  4λ=2μ  ⇒2λ−μ=0   ...(ii)  from (i) and (ii):  6λ−2λ=1  ⇒λ=(1/4)  ⇒μ=(1/2)
