Question 41. The vector C, directed along the internal bisector of the angle between the vectors a=7^i4^j4^k and b=2^i^j+2^k with |c|=56, is  
  1.     ±(53(^i−7^j+2^k)
  2.    53(5^i−5^j+2^k)  
  3.    53(^i−7^j+2^k)  
  4.    53(−5^i−5^j+2^k)

Answer: Option A. ->  ±(53(^i−7^j+2^k)
:
A
The required vector C is given by
C=λ(^a+^b)=λ(a|a|+b|b|)=λ{19(7^i4^j4^k)+13(2^i^j+2^k)}
c=λ9(^i7^j+2^k)|c|=±λ91+49+4=±λ954
But |c|=56 (given)
±λ954=56λ=±15
Hence, c=±159(^i7^j+2^k)=±53(^i7^j+2^k)
