Detailed Solution

Letc=xi^+yj^+zk^ where x2+y2+z2=1

 And unit vector along 3i^+4j^=3i^+4j^32+42=3i^+4j^5

The angle biseector of a^ , b^  is r=ta^ + b^

r=tx i^+y j^+zk^+3i^+4j^5 r=t5[(5x+3)i^+(5y+4) j^+5zk^)  But the bisector is given by i^+j^k^

t5(5x+3)=1x=5+3t5t,t5(5y+4)=1y=54t5t,t5(5z)=1z=1t

 Put all the values in equation (1), we get 

5+3t5t2+54t5t2+1t2=125+9t2+30t+25+16t240t+2525t2=125t210t+75=25t2t=7.5

x=5+3×7.55×7.5=1115,y=54×7.55×7.5=1015,z=17.5=215 c=115(11i^10j^2k^)
