Solution
The correct option is C13(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^i−4^j−4^k|−−→AB|=6 −−→AC=−2^i−2^j−^k |−−→AC|=3
Position vector of D is, =18^i+39^j+54^k9=13(6^i+13^j+18^k)
