Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) -1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \hat{i} \cdot (\hat{k} \times \hat{j}) = [\hat{i}, \hat{k}, \hat{j}] = -[\hat{i}, \hat{j}, \hat{k}] = -1 \) \( \hat{j} \cdot (\hat{k} \times \hat{i}) = [\hat{j}, \hat{k}, \hat{i}] = [\hat{i}, \hat{j}, \hat{k}] = 1 \)
