Solution

The correct option is A $2 (\to b \times \to a)$
$(\to a + \to b) \times (\to a - \to b) = \to a \times (\to a - \to b) + \to b \times (\to a - \to b)$
$= \to a \times \to a - \to a \times \to b + \to b \times \to a - \to b \times \to b$
Now, cross product of a vector with itself is zero ( $θ$ = 0, thus $s i n θ$ = 0)
Also, $\to a \times \to b = - (\to b \times \to a)$
Hence, given equation becomes $0 + \to b \times \to a + \to b \times \to a + 0$
which gives $2 (\to b \times \to a)$
