Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

As given \(\mathbf{a}\) is perpendicular to \(\mathbf{b}\) and \(\mathbf{c}\) \(\Rightarrow \mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{b}=0\) and \(\mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{c}=0\) and angle between \(\mathbf{b}\) and \(c=\frac{\pi}{3}\)…
