\(\begin{aligned} & \hat{\mathrm{i}} \times(\overline{\mathrm{a}} \times \hat{\mathrm{i}}) \\ & =(\hat{\mathrm{i}} \cdot \hat{\mathrm{i}}) \overline{\mathrm{a}}-(\hat{\mathrm{i}} \cdot \overline{\mathrm{a}}) \hat{\mathrm{i}} \\ & =1(\hat{\mathrm{i}}+2 \hat{\mathrm{j}}+3 \hat{\mathrm{k}})-[\hat{\mathrm{i}} \cdot(\hat{\mathrm{i}}+2 \hat{\mathrm{j}}+3 \hat{\mathrm{k}})] \hat{\mathrm{i}} \\ & =\hat{\mathrm{i}}+2 \hat{\mathrm{j}}+3 \hat{\mathrm{k}}-\hat{\mathrm{i}}=2 \hat{\mathrm{j}}+3 \hat{\mathrm{k}}\end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned}
& \hat{\mathrm{j}} \times(\overline{\mathrm{a}} \times \hat{\mathrm{j}})=(\hat{\mathrm{j}} \cdot \hat{\mathrm{j}}) \overline{\mathrm{a}}-(\hat{\mathrm{j}} \cdot \overline{\mathrm{a}}) \hat{\mathrm{j}} \\
& =\hat{i}+3 \hat{k} \\
& \hat{\mathrm{k}} \times(\overline{\mathrm{a}} \times \hat{\mathrm{k}})=(\hat{\mathrm{k}} \cdot \hat{\mathrm{k}}) \overline{\mathrm{a}}-(\hat{\mathrm{k}} \cdot \overline{\mathrm{a}}) \hat{\mathrm{k}} \\
& =\hat{i}+2 \hat{j} \\
& \therefore \quad \bar{b}=2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}+\hat{i}+3 \hat{k}+\hat{i}+2 \hat{j} \\
& =2 \hat{i}+4 \hat{j}+6 \hat{k} \\
& \therefore \quad|\bar{b}|=\sqrt{4+16+36}=\sqrt{56}=2 \sqrt{14}
\end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned}
& \hat{\mathrm{j}} \times(\overline{\mathrm{a}} \times \hat{\mathrm{j}})=(\hat{\mathrm{j}} \cdot \hat{\mathrm{j}}) \overline{\mathrm{a}}-(\hat{\mathrm{j}} \cdot \overline{\mathrm{a}}) \hat{\mathrm{j}} \\
& =\hat{i}+3 \hat{k} \\
