Solution

The correct option is D 2[abc]
Given problem is in the form scalar triple product

[a×bb×cc×a]=(a×b)×(b×c)(c×a)=(a×b+b×b+a×c+b×c)(c×a)=(a×b+a×c+b×c)(c×a)(b×b=0)=a×bc.b×cc+a×cc.a×ba+b×ca.a×ca

When two vector are involved in the triple product, their, product is equal to 0.

Therefore,

[abc]+[abc]=2[abc]

Hence, option D is correct answer.
