Correct answer
B. 44
Step-by-step solution
Given, a → = 2 i ^ + 7 j ^ - k ^ ,   b ^ = 3 i ^ + 5 k ^ and c → = i ^ - j ^ + 2 k ^ And d → be a vector which is perpendicular to both a → and b → , So, d → = λ a → × b → Now finding, a → × b → = i ^ j ^ k ^ 2 7 - 1 3 0 5 ⇒ a → × b → = 35 i ^ - 13 j ^ - 21 k ^ So, d → = λ 35 i ^ - 13 j ^ - 21 k ^ Also given, c → · d → = 12 ⇒ c → · d → = i ^ - j ^ + 2 k ^ · &
