- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
-
Write the given position vectors
-
Use the angle bisector theorem in triangle
Since is the internal bisector of and meets side at , in triangle we have
First compute the lengths:
Hence,
So divides internally in the ratio .
-
Find the position vector of using section formula
If divides internally in the ratio , then
-
Compute the length
-
Match with the options
Therefore, the correct option is C.
