Solution

The correct option is A $9$

$\to b \times \to c = - 3^ı - 4^j + 2^k$
$\to c \times \to a = - 3^i + 2^ȷ -^k$
$\to a \times \to h = 2^ı +^ı$
$\to a \times \to b = 3^i + {^ȷ}_{1}^{2}^k$
Let where
$\to s \cdot \to a = p + 2 q + r$
$\to s \cdot \to b = 2 p - q + μ$
$\to s \cdot \to c = q + 2 k$
$\Rightarrow (\to s \cdot \to a) (\to b \times \to c) + (\to s \cdot \to b) (\to c \times \to a) + (\to s \cdot \to c) (a \times \to b)$
$= (p + 2 q + r) (- 3^i - 4^ȷ + 2^k) + (2 p - q + u) x$
$\begin{matrix} (- 3^i + 2^j -^k) + (q + 2 x) (3^ı +^ȷ - 5^k) = & (- 9 p)^ı + (- 9 q)^j + (- 9 n)^k \end{matrix}$
$= 9$
$∴$ option $A$ is correct
