Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\sqrt{21}, \quad \sqrt{13}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the adjacent sides of the parallelogram be represented by vectors \(\vec{a} = \hat{i} + \hat{j} - \hat{k}\) and \(\vec{b} = 2\hat{i} - 3\hat{j} + \hat{k}\). The diagonals of the parallelogram are given by \(\vec{d_1} = \vec{a} + \vec{b}\) and…
