Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\sqrt{59}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} \text { Given, } \mathbf{V} & =2 \hat{\mathbf{i}}+\hat{\mathbf{j}}-\hat{\mathbf{k}} \\ \mathbf{W} & =\hat{\mathbf{i}}+3 \hat{\mathbf{k}} \\ \mathbf{V} \times \mathbf{W} & =\left|\begin{array}{ccc}\hat{\mathbf{i}} & \hat{\mathbf{j}} & \hat{\mathbf{k}} \\ 2 & 1 &…
