Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2 / 3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We know that, volume of tetrahedron \(\begin{aligned} & =\frac{1}{6}[\overrightarrow{\mathbf{A B}} \overrightarrow{\mathbf{A C}} \overrightarrow{\mathbf{A D}}] \\ & =\frac{1}{6}\left|\begin{array}{ccc}1 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & -1 & 1 \\ 1 & 2 & -1\end{array}\right|\end{aligned}\)…
