Correct Answer

(B) 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Vector joining the points \((k, 2,3)\) and \((1,1,2)\) is \[ \begin{aligned} (k-1) \hat{\mathbf{i}}+(2 & -1) \hat{\mathbf{j}}+(3-2) \hat{\mathbf{k}} \\ = & (k-1) \hat{\mathbf{i}}+\hat{\mathbf{j}}+\hat{\mathbf{k}}...(i) \end{aligned} \] and vector joining the two points…
