If $l_1, m_1, n_1$ and $l_2, m_2, n_2$ are direction cosines of $OA$ and $OB$ such that $\angle AOB = \theta$,where $O$ is the origin,then the direction cosines of the internal angular bisector of $\angle AOB$ are

  • A
    $\frac{l_1+l_2}{2 \sin \frac{\theta}{2}}, \frac{m_1+m_2}{2 \sin \frac{\theta}{2}}, \frac{n_1+n_2}{2 \sin \frac{\theta}{2}}$
  • B
    $\frac{l_1-l_2}{2 \cos \frac{\theta}{2}}, \frac{m_1-m_2}{2 \cos \frac{\theta}{2}}, \frac{n_1-n_2}{2 \cos \frac{\theta}{2}}$
  • C
    $\frac{l_1-l_2}{2 \sin \frac{\theta}{2}}, \frac{m_1-m_2}{2 \sin \frac{\theta}{2}}, \frac{n_1-n_2}{2 \sin \frac{\theta}{2}}$
  • D
    $\frac{l_1+l_2}{2 \cos \frac{\theta}{2}}, \frac{m_1+m_2}{2 \cos \frac{\theta}{2}}, \frac{n_1+n_2}{2 \cos \frac{\theta}{2}}$
