Solution

The correct option is C $\frac{γ}{| \to a \times \to b |^{2}} [\to a \times \to b + \to b \times (\to a \times \to b)]$
$\to x \times \to y = \to a (i)$
$\to y \times \to z = \to b (i i)$
$\to x \cdot \to b = γ (i i i)$
$\to x \cdot \to y = 1 (i v)$
$\to y \cdot \to z = 1 (v)$

From $(i i)$ , $\to x \cdot (\to y \times \to z) = \to x \cdot \to b = γ$
$\Rightarrow [\to x \to y \to z] = γ$

From $(i)$ and $(i i)$ ,
$(\to x \times \to y) \times (\to y \times \to z) = \to a \times \to b$
$∴ [\to x \to y \to z] \to y - [\to y \to y \to z] \to x = \to a \times \to b$
or $\to y = \frac{\to a \times \to b}{γ} (v i)$

Also from $(i i)$ ,
$(\to y \times \to z) \times \to y = \to b \times \to y$
$\Rightarrow | \to y |^{2} \to z - (\to z \cdot \to y) \to y = \to b \times \to y$
$\Rightarrow \to z = \frac{1}{| \to y |^{2}} [\to y + \to b \times \to y]$
$= \frac{γ}{| \to a \times \to b |^{2}} [\to a \times \to b + \to b \times (\to a \times \to b)]$
