Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(\mathbf{a}=\hat{\mathbf{i}}+\hat{\mathbf{j}}\) and \(\mathbf{b}=\hat{\mathbf{j}}+\hat{\mathbf{k}}\) Unit vector perpendicular to both \(\mathbf{a}\) and \(\mathbf{b}\), \(\pm \frac{\mathbf{a} \times \mathbf{b}}{|\mathbf{a} \times \mathbf{b}|}\) \(\therefore\) Two…
