Solution

The correct option is C (a,b1,c2)
Pair of vectors(a,b) is orthogonal if their product is zero i.e. ab=0
Consider, ab1=(baba|a|2aa)

=baba ........ (|a|2=1,aa=1)
=0
Also, c2a=caca|a|2aab1c|b1|2b1a,
=caca0 ..... (|a|2=1,aa=1,a.b1=0)
Similarly, b1c2=0
(a,b1,c2) are the set of orthogonal vectors.
