Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{16}{\sqrt{14}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\vec{a} = 5 \hat{i}+\hat{j}-3 \hat{k}\), \(\vec{b} = \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-3 \hat{k}\) \(\text{Projection} = \frac{\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}}{|\vec{b}|}\) \(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = (5)(1) + (1)(2) + (-3)(-3) = 5 + 2 + 9 = 16\)…
