The position vectors of the points A and B with respect to O are 2 i ^ + 2 j ^ + k ^ and 2 i ^ + 4 j ^ + 4 k…

The position vectors of the points A and B with respect to O are 2i^+2j^+k^ and 2i^+4j^+4k^. The length of the internal bisector of BOA of AOB is (take proportionality constant is 2)
  1. 1369
  2. 1363
  3. 203
  4. 253

Solution

Here OA=22+22+12=3, OB=22+42+42=6

So, Internal bisector OD divides AB in the ratio =1:2, using angle bisector theorem

Using section formula, we get

Position vectors of D are (2, 83,2)

OD=  4+ 64 9+4 =1363
