    Let \[P=(-1,0),Q=(0,0)\] and \[R=(3,3\sqrt{3})\] be three point. The equation of the bisector of the angle PQR is

    A) \[\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}x+y=0\]

    B) \[x+\sqrt{3y}=0\]

    C) \[\sqrt{3}x+y=0\]

    D) \[x+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}y=0\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] The coordinates of points P, Q, R are\[(-1,0)\],\[(0,0)\], \[(3,3\sqrt{3})\], respectively.
    Slope of QR
    \[=\frac{{{y}_{2}}-{{y}_{1}}}{{{x}_{2}}-{{x}_{1}}}=\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{3}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \tan \theta =\sqrt{3}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \theta =\frac{\pi }{3}\Rightarrow \angle RQX=\frac{\pi }{3}\]
    \[\therefore \angle RQP=\pi -\frac{\pi }{3}=\frac{2\pi }{3};\]
    Let QM bisects the \[\angle PQR,\]
    \[\therefore \] Slope of the line \[QM=\tan \frac{2\pi }{3}=-\sqrt{3}\]
    \[\therefore \] Equation of line OM is \[(y-0)=-\sqrt{3}(x-0)\]
    \[\Rightarrow y=-\sqrt{3}x\Rightarrow \sqrt{3}x+y=0\]
