Solution

The correct option is B $- \frac{3}{2}$
$\begin{matrix} a, b, c, a r e u n i t V e c t o r s u c h t h a t \to a + \to b + \to c = 0 (g i v e n) T h e n, \Rightarrow {(\to a + \to b + \to c)}^{2} = {∣ ∣ \to a ∣ ∣}^{2} + {∣ ∣ ∣ \to b ∣ ∣ ∣}^{2} + {∣ ∣ \to c ∣ ∣}^{2} + 2 (\to a . \to b + \to b . \to c + \to c . \to a) \Rightarrow 0 = 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 (\to a . \to b + \to b . \to c + \to c . \to a) . \frac{- 3}{2} = \to a . \to b + \to b . \to c + \to c . \to a A n s . \end{matrix}$
