Detailed Solution

A vector bisecting the angle between a  and  b  is  a|a|±b|b| ;
in the case  2i^+j^k^6±i^2j^+k^6
i.e., 3i^j^6  or  i^+3j^2k^6
A vector of magnitude 3 along these vector is  3(3i^j^)10  or  3(i^+3j^2k^)14
Now, 314(i^+3j^2k^).(i^2j^+k^) is negative and hence 314(i^+3j^2k^)  makes an obtuse angle with  b.
