Solution

The correct option is D $\sqrt{129}$
$\to a \times (\to b \times \to c)$
$= \to b (\to a . \to c) - \to c (\to a . \to b)$
$= \to b (8 - 12) - \to c (2 + 3 - 4)$
$= - 4 \to b - \to c$
$= - (4 (i + j + k) + 4 i + 3 k)$
$= - (8 i + 4 j + 4 k)$
Now $| - (8 i + 4 j + 7 k) |$
$= \sqrt{64 + 16 + 49}$
$= \sqrt{80 + 49}$
$= \sqrt{129}$
