Solution

The correct option is A $\to A = \to B + \to C a n d B^{2} = A^{2} + C^{2}$
$\to A = 3^i - 2^j +^k$ and $A^{2} = 9 + 4 + 1 = 14$
$\to B =^i - 3^j + 5^k$ and $B^{2} = 1 + 9 + 25 = 35$
$\to C = 2^i +^j - 4^k$ and $C^{2} = 4 + 1 + 16 = 21$

Here, we see that,

$\to A = \to B + \to C$

And $B^{2} = A^{2} + C^{2}$

Hence, answer is option-(B).
