Solution

The correct option is A x=(b×c)+a+(ca)c1+cc
Given:
x+c×y=a(i)y+c×x=b(ii)
Taking cross with c, of equation (ii) We have c×y+c×(c×x)=c×b
Now, using (i), we have
(ax)+(cx)c(cc)x=c×b (iii)

Also taking dot product with c in equation (i), we have
cx+c(c×y)=ca or cx+0=ca or cx=ca (iv)

Using (iv) in (iii), we have
(ax)+(ca)c(cc)x=c×b
x(1+(cc))=b×c+a+(ca)c
x=(b×c)+a+(ca)c1+cc
