Detailed Solution

Angle bisector can be  a=λb^+c^  or  a=μb^c^

Now a=λi^+j^2+i^-j^+4k^32=λ323i^+3j^+i^j^+4k^=λ324i^+2j^+4k^          

Comparing  with a=αi^+2j^+βk^ we get

                                               2λ32=2λ=32         

 a=4i^+2j^+4k^         

          None of the option is satisfied. So, now consider

a=μi^+j^2i^j^+4k^32

      a=μ323i^+3j^i^+j^4k^

               =μ322i^+4j^4k^                     

          Comparing witha=αi^+2j^+βk^, we get

    4μ32=2μ=322

a=i^+2j^2k^

Now a.k^+2=-2+2=0
