Solution

The correct option is A $α = 1, β = - 1$
According to question...............
$\begin{matrix} \to a =^i +^j +^k, \to b = 4^i + 3^j + 4^k \to c =^i + α^j + β^k N o w, a, b, c i s l i n e a r l y . . . . . \Rightarrow ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ \begin{matrix} 111434 1 α β \end{matrix} ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ = 0 \Rightarrow 1 (3 β - 4 α) - 1 (4 β - 4) + 1 (4 α - 3) = 0 \Rightarrow 3 β - 4 α - 4 β + 4 + 4 α - 3 = 0 \Rightarrow - β + 1 = 0 ∴ β = 1 N o w, v a l u e o f v e c t o r : \to c =^i + α^j + β^k | \to c | = \sqrt{3} \Rightarrow | \to c | = \sqrt{1 + α^{2} + β^{2}} \Rightarrow \sqrt{1 + α^{2} + β^{2}} = \sqrt{3} \Rightarrow 1 + α^{2} + β^{2} = 3 \Rightarrow 1 + α^{2} + β^{2} = 3 \Rightarrow α^{2} + 1 + 1 = 3 \Rightarrow α^{2} = 1 ∴ α = \pm 1 S o, t h a t t h e v a l u e o f α = \pm 1, β = 1 a n d t h e c o r r e c t o p t i o n i s D . \end{matrix}$
