Solution

The correct option is C 13(6^i+13^j+18^k)
Suppose the bisector of angle A meets BC at D. Then AD divides BC in the ratio AB:AC.
So, P.V. of D is given by
|AB|(2^i+5^j+7^k)+|AC|(2^i+3^j+4^k)|AB|+|AC|
We know that,
AB=2^i4^j4^k|AB|=6
AC=2^i2^j^k
|AC|=3

Position vector of D is,
=18^i+39^j+54^k9=13(6^i+13^j+18^k)
