Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{7}{9}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\left|-2 \bar{i}-\bar{j}+2 \bar{k}\right| = \sqrt{(-2)^2+(-1)^2+(2)^2} = 3\) \(\hat{c} = \frac{-2 \bar{i}-\bar{j}+2 \bar{k}}{3}\) Internal bisector: \(\hat{a} + \hat{c} = \lambda (\overline{\mathrm{i}}-7 \overline{\mathrm{j}}+2 \overline{\mathrm{k}})\)…
