The vector a=αi^+2j^+βk^\mathbf{a} = \alpha\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + \beta\hat{k} lies in the plane of the vectors b=i^+j^\mathbf{b} = \hat{i} + \hat{j} and c=j^+k^\mathbf{c} = \hat{j} + \hat{k} and bisects the angle between b\mathbf{b} and c\mathbf{c} . Then, which one of the following gives possible values of α\alpha and β\beta ? a. α=1,β=1\alpha = 1, \beta = 1 b. α=2,β=2\alpha = 2, \beta = 2 c. α=1,β=2\alpha = 1, \beta = 2 d. α=2,β=1\alpha = 2, \beta = 1
