Options
- A25 714 , 8 714 , − 5 714
- B25 714 , 8 714 , 5 714
- C5 74 , 6 74 , 8 74
- D− 5 74 , 6 74 , − 8 74
Correct answer
B. 25 714 , 8 714 , 5 714
Step-by-step solution
Given points A ( - 1 , 2 , - 3 ) ,   B ( 5 , 0 , - 6 ) ,   C ( 0 , 4 , - 1 ) Let, the vector A D   is the internal bisector of ∠ B A C , point D lie on the side B C . Now, A B = - 1 - 5 2 + 2 2 + - 3 + 6 2 = 36 + 4 + 9 = 7 and, A C = - 1 - 0 2 + 2 - 4 2 + - 3 + 1 2 = 1 + 4 + 4 = 3 We know that, the bisector of angle ∠ B A C , divides the side B C in ratio A B : A C , i.e. 7   :   3 So, the coordinate of D is 3 × 5 + 7 × 0 3 + 7 ,   3 × 0 + 7 × 4 3 + 7 ,
