Solution

Construction : Draw a perpedicular bisector of CB, l3.Since l1 and l2 are perpendicular bisectors of AB and AC,PA =PB (perpendicular-bisector theorem)Also, PA= PC (perpendicular-bisector theorem)Thus, PA =PB = PCOr we can say that the perpendicular bisector of CB also passes through point P.Or, l passes through point P.Hence proved.
