If $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$ are the position vectors $(P.V.)$ of two points $A$ and $B$ respectively,and $C$ divides the line segment $AB$ in the ratio $2 : 1$,then the position vector of $C$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{\vec{a} + 2\vec{b}}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{2\vec{a} + \vec{b}}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{\vec{a} + 2\vec{b}}{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{\vec{a} + \vec{b}}{2}$
