Let $$u=2 \hat{\mathbf{i}}+\hat{\mathbf{j}}$$ and $$v=3 \hat{\mathbf{i}}-5 \hat{\mathbf{j}}$$. Consider three points $$P, Q$$ and $$R$$ having the position vectors $$\left(\frac{5}{2}\right) \hat{\mathbf{i}}-2 \hat{\mathbf{j}} ;\left(\frac{7}{3}\right) \hat{\mathbf{i}}-\hat{\mathbf{j}}$$ and $$\left(\frac{9}{4}\right) \hat{\mathbf{i}}$$ respectively. Among these, the points in the line passing through $$u$$ and $$v$$ are
