Let P = (-1, 0), Q = (0, 0) and R = (3, `3sqrt3`) be three points. The equation of the bisector of the angle PQR
A. `(sqrt(3))/(2)x+y=0`
B. `x+sqrt(3)y=0`
C. `sqrt(3)x+y=0`
D. `x+(sqrt(3))/(2)y=0`
A. `(sqrt(3))/(2)x+y=0`
B. `x+sqrt(3)y=0`
C. `sqrt(3)x+y=0`
D. `x+(sqrt(3))/(2)y=0`
Correct Answer – C
The bisector of angle PQR divides PR in the ratio PQ:QR i.e. 1:6 . So, the coordinate of the point of divison are
`((1xx3+6xx-1)/(6),(1xx3sqrt(3)+6xx0)/(1+6))=((-3)/(7),(3sqrt(3))/(7))`
Clearly , required bisector passes through Q(0,0) and `(-3//7,3sqrt(3)//7)`. So, its equation is
`y-0 =((3sqrt(3))/(7)-0)/(-(3)/(7)-0)(x-0) implies y=-sqrt(3)x implies sqrt(3)x+y=0`
