Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{5 \sqrt{5}}{3}\) units

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation


\(\Rightarrow \text { S.D. }=\frac{|8 \hat{i}+5 \hat{j}-6 \hat{k}|}{\sqrt{9}}\)
\(\Rightarrow \text { S.D. }=\frac{\sqrt{8^2+5^2+(-6)^2}}{3}\)
\(\Rightarrow \text { S.D. }=\frac{\sqrt{125}}{3}=\frac{5 \sqrt{5}}{3}\)
