A vector of magnitude $\sqrt{2}$ units along the internal bisector of the angle between the vectors $2 \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+\hat{k}$ and $\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+2 \hat{k}$ is

  • A
    $\hat{j}+\hat{k}$
  • B
    $\hat{i}-\hat{j}$
  • C
    $\hat{i}-\hat{k}$
  • Correct answer
    D
    $\hat{i}+\hat{k}$

Solution

$\vec{a}=2 \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+\hat{k}, \vec{b}=\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+2 \hat{k}$ $|\vec{a}|=3=|\vec{b}|$
Internal angle bisector is $\frac{\vec{a}+\vec{b}}{2}=3 \hat{i}+3 \hat{k}$ Vector of magnitude $\sqrt{2}$ is $\hat{i}+\hat{k}$.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
