The vertices of a triangle are A(1,1,2), B (4,3,1) and C (2,3,5). The vector representing internal bisector of the angle A is

A

`hati+hatj+2hatk`

B

`2hati-2hatjj+hatk`

C

`2hati+2hatj+hatk`

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
From the figure, we have
`b=AC=hati+2hatj+3hatk`
and `c=AB=3hati+2hatj+hatk`

`therefore`Unit vector along the bisector of `angleA` is given by
`=(b+c)/(2)=((hati+2hatj+3hatk)+(3hati+2hatj-hatk))/(sqrt(14))`
`=(2hati+2hatj+hatk)/(sqrt(14))`
`therefore`Any vector along the angle bisector of
`angleA=2hati+2hatj+hatk`.
