Options
- A52
- B26
- C65
- D20
Correct answer
C. 65
Step-by-step solution
Let a =8 i -6 j , b =3 i +4 j -12 k aligned & Area of parallelogram = 1 2 | a b | . & a b = | array ccc i & j & k 8 & -6 & 0 3 & 4 & -12 array |=72 i +96 j -50 k & 1 2 | a b |= 5184+9216+2500 1 2 & = 16900 1 2 =130 1 2 =65 aligned
