Solution

The correct option is C $5 \sqrt{2}$
It is given that,
$\to a \cdot (\to b + \to c) = 0 \Rightarrow \to a \cdot \to b + \to a \cdot \to c = 0$ .........(1)
$\to b \cdot (\to c + \to a) = 0 \Rightarrow \to b \cdot \to c + \to a \cdot \to b = 0$ .......(2)
and $\to c \cdot (\to a + \to b) = 0 \Rightarrow \to c \cdot \to a + \to c \cdot \to b = 0$ .......(3)
Add above three equations $\Rightarrow \to a \cdot \to b + \to b \cdot \to c + \to c \cdot \to a = 0$
Therefore
$| \to a + \to b + \to c | = \sqrt{| \to a |^{2} + | \to b |^{2} + | \to c |^{2} + 2 (\to a \cdot \to b + \to b \cdot \to c + \to c \cdot \to a)}$
$= \sqrt{3^{2} + 4^{2} + 5^{2} + 0} = \sqrt{50} = 5 \sqrt{2}$
