Solution

The correct option is B 5
Let (1,1,1),(1,1,1),(1,1,1),(1,1,1) be vectors a,b,c,d, rest of the vectors are a,b,c,d and let us find the number of ways of selecting co-planar vectors.

Observe that out of any three coplanar vectors two will be collinear (anti parallel).
Number of ways of selecting the anti-parallel pair =4
Number of ways of selecting the third vector =6
Total =24
Number of non-coplanar selections
=8C324=32=25,p=5
p=5
