Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{7}{\sqrt{38}}\) units

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\overline{\mathrm{n}} = (\hat{i}+\hat{\mathrm{j}}+\hat{\mathrm{k}}) \times (\hat{i}-2 \hat{\mathrm{j}}+3 \hat{\mathrm{k}})\) \(\overline{\mathrm{n}} = \begin{vmatrix} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\ 1 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & -2 & 3 \end{vmatrix} = \hat{i}(3+2)-\hat{j}(3-1)+\hat{k}(-2-1)\)
