Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\sqrt{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} & \text { } \vec{d}=\lambda(\vec{a} \times \vec{b}) \\ & \vec{a} \times \vec{b}=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}\hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\ 1 & 1 & -2 \\ 1 & -2 & 1\end{array}\right|=-3 \hat{i}-3 \hat{j}-3 \hat{k} \\ & \vec{d}=\lambda(\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k})…
