The position vectors of the verticesA, BandCof a triangle are2i^-3j^+3k^, 2i^+2j^+3k^and-i^+j^+3k^respectively. Letldenotes the length of the angle bisectorADof∠BACwhereDis on the line segmentBC, then2l2equals :

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

Given: A2,-3,3, B2,2,3 and C-1,1,3 are vertices of a △ABC.

AB=2-22+2+32+3-32

⇒AB=5

⇒AC=2+12+-3-12+3-32

⇒AC=9+16

⇒AC=5

Also, AD is the angle bisector of ∠BAC.

⇒ABAC=BDCD

⇒BD=CD

∴ D is midpoint of BC

So, using mid-point formula,

⇒D≡2-12,2+12,3+32

⇒D≡12,32,3

⇒AD=l=2-122+-3-322+(3-3)2

⇒l=322+-922

⇒l=94+814

⇒l=452

⇒l2=452

⇒2l2=45
