Solution

The correct option is C $\frac{a a + (- b) b + (- c) c}{(a - b - c)}$
Vectors along AB, BC and CA are b - c, c - b and a - c, respectively. Hence, the bisectors of the angular B and C, respectively are
$r = b + μ (\frac{b - a}{c} + \frac{c - b}{a})$
and $r = c + t (\frac{b - c}{a} + \frac{c - a}{b})$
So that for the point P,
$b + μ (\frac{b - a}{c} + \frac{c - b}{a}) = c + t (\frac{b - c}{a} + \frac{c - a}{b})$
$\Rightarrow t = \frac{b μ}{c}$ and $μ = \frac{a c}{b + c - a}$
So, the position vector of P is $\frac{b b + c c - a a}{b + c - a}$
