Detailed Solution
Suppose the bisector of angle A meets BC at D. Then AD divides BC in the ratio AB : AC. So, P.V. of D is given by|AB→|(2i^+5j^+7k^)+|AC→|(2i^+3j^+4k^)|AB→|+|AC→| but AB→=−2i^−4j^−4k^and AC→=−2i^−2j^−k^⇒|AB→|=6 and |AC→|=3Therefore, P.V. of D is given by 6(2i^+5j^+7k^)+3(2i^+3j^+4k^)6+3=13(6i^+13j^+18k^)
