Solution

The correct option is D 75(i2j)
a=^i2^j=1^i2^j+0^k

Magnitude of

a=12+(2)2+02|a|=1+4+0=5

Unit vector in direction of

^a=1magnitudeofa×a^a=15[1^i+2^j+0^k]^a=15^i25^j+0^k^a=15^i25^j

Thus, Vector having a magnitude
1=15^i25^j

Vector having a magnitude
7=7[15^i25^j]=75^i145^j

=75(^i2^j) (By taking common 75)
