Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \vec{n_1} = \langle 2, 3, 1 \rangle, \vec{n_2} = \langle 1, 3, 2 \rangle \) \( \vec{d} = \vec{n_1} \times \vec{n_2} = \begin{vmatrix} \mathbf{i} & \mathbf{j} & \mathbf{k} \\ 2 & 3 & 1 \\ 1 & 3 & 2 \end{vmatrix} = \langle 3, -3, 3 \rangle \)…
