Solution

The correct option is C $- 42$
Given: $\to b = 2^i +^j +^k, \to c =^i -^j +^k$
$\to d = 3^i + 2^j + 6^k$
$| \to a | = \sqrt{10}$
Now, $[\to b \to c \to d] = ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ \begin{matrix} 2 & 1 & 1 1 & - 1 & 1 3 & 2 & 6 \end{matrix} ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣$
$= 2 (- 6 - 2) - 1 (3) + 1 (5) = - 14$
As $\to a$ is coplanar with vectors $\to b$ and $\to c$ , so assuming
$\to a = λ \to b + μ \to c \Rightarrow \to a = (2 λ + μ)^i + (λ - μ)^j + (λ + μ)^k$

We know, $\to a$ is perpendicular to $\to d$
$\Rightarrow \to a \cdot \to d = 0 \Rightarrow 3 (2 λ + μ) + 2 (λ - μ) + 6 (λ + μ) = 0 \Rightarrow 14 λ + + 7 μ = 0 \Rightarrow μ = - 2 λ \dots (1)$
Also, $| \to a | = \sqrt{10}$
$\Rightarrow (2 λ + μ)^{2} + (λ - μ)^{2} + (λ + μ)^{2} = 10$
From equation $(1)$ , we get
$\Rightarrow (2 λ - 2 λ)^{2} + (λ + 2 λ)^{2} + (λ - 2 λ)^{2} = 10 \Rightarrow 10 λ^{2} = 10 \Rightarrow λ = \pm 1 \Rightarrow μ = \mp 2$
Now,
$[\to a \to b \to c] + [\to a \to b \to d] + [\to a \to c \to d] = 0 + [\to a \to b \to d] + [\to a \to c \to d] = [(λ \to b + μ \to c) \to b \to d] + [(λ \to b + μ \to c) \to c \to d] = λ [\to b \to b \to d] + μ [\to c \to b \to d] + λ [\to b \to c \to d] + μ [\to c \to c \to d] = - μ [\to b \to c \to d] + λ [\to b \to c \to d] = (λ - μ) [\to b \to c \to d]$
From equation $(1)$ , we get
$= - 42 λ = \mp 42$
