Solution

The correct option is D $k$
Given vectors are $\to a = i + j - k, \to b = - i + 2 j + k$ and $\to c = - i + 2 j - k$
$\to a + \to b = 3 j$ and $\to b + \to c = - 2 i + 4 j$
unit vector perpendicular to both the above vectors is $\frac{(\to a + \to b) \times (\to b + \to c)}{| (\to a + \to b) \times (\to b + \to c) |}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{(3 j) \times (- 2 i + 4 j)}{| (3 j) \times (- 2 i + 4 j) |} = k$
