  1. A \(\frac{1}{2}\)
  2. B 1
  3. C 2
  4. D 4
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \vec{AB} = \vec{B} - \vec{A} = (\hat{i} + \frac{1}{2}\hat{j} + 4\hat{k}) - (-\hat{i} + \frac{1}{2}\hat{j} + 4\hat{k}) = 2\hat{i} \) \( \vec{AD} = \vec{D} - \vec{A} = (-\hat{i} - \frac{1}{2}\hat{j} + 4\hat{k}) - (-\hat{i} + \frac{1}{2}\hat{j} + 4\hat{k}) = -\hat{j} \)…
