O is the origin and lines OA, OB and OC ...

O is the origin and lines OA, OB and OC have direction cosines `l_(r),m_(r)andn_(r)(r=1,2 and3)`. If lines OA', OB' and OC' bisect angles BOC, COA and AOB, respectively, prove that planes AOA', BOB' and COC' pass through the line `(x)/(l_(1)+l_(2)+l_(3))=(y)/(m_(1)+m_(2)+m_(3))=(z)/(n_(1)+n_(2)+n_(3))`.
