  4. D \(5 \sqrt{6}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(5 \sqrt{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(\mathbf{a}=\hat{\mathbf{i}}+\hat{\mathbf{j}}+2 \hat{\mathbf{k}}\) and \(\mathbf{b}=3 \hat{\mathbf{i}}-2 \hat{\mathbf{j}}+\hat{\mathbf{k}}\) \(\therefore\) Area of parallelogram \(=|\mathbf{a} \times \mathbf{b}|\)…
