If the vector \(19 \hat{\mathbf{i}}+22 \hat{\mathbf{j}}+5 \hat{\mathbf{k}}\) bisects an angle between the vectors a and \(6 \hat{\mathbf{i}}+8 \hat{\mathbf{j}}\), then the unit vector in the direction of \(\mathbf{a}\) is

  1. A \(\frac{1}{5}(4 \hat{\mathbf{i}}+3 \hat{\mathbf{k}})\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{3}(2 \hat{\mathbf{i}}+2 \hat{\mathbf{j}}+\hat{\mathbf{k}})\)
  3. C \(\frac{1}{3}(\hat{\mathbf{i}}+2 \hat{\mathbf{j}}+2 \hat{\mathbf{k}})\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{3}(2 \hat{\mathbf{i}}+2 \hat{\mathbf{j}}-\hat{\mathbf{k}})\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{1}{3}(2 \hat{\mathbf{i}}+2 \hat{\mathbf{j}}+\hat{\mathbf{k}})\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let vector \(\mathbf{a}=a_1 \hat{\mathbf{i}}+a_2 \hat{\mathbf{j}}+a_3 \hat{\mathbf{k}}\) Now, vector bisector of angle between \(\mathbf{a}\) and \(6 \hat{\mathbf{i}}+8 \hat{\mathbf{j}}\) is…
