Solution

The correct option is C $(- a_{3}, a_{2}, a_{1})$
Given $\to a = (a_{1}, a_{2}, a_{3})$
Since the coordinate system OXYZ is rotated about y-axis through an angle of $\frac{π}{2}$ , so y component will remain same and new z-axis is along OX,and new x-axis is along OZ'
So, the new component of $\to a$ are $(- a_{3}, a_{2}, a_{1})$
