Solution

The correct option is A 4^i^j+4^k
A vector in the plane of a and b is
a+λb=(^i+2^j+^k)+λ(^i^j+^k)
=(1+λ)^i+(2λ)^j+(1+λ)^k
If projection on c is 13
(a+λb).cc=±13
((1+λ)^i+(2λ)^j+(1+λ)^k)(^i+^j^k)1+1+1=±13
1+λ+2λ1λ3=±13
2λ=±1
λ=2±1λ=1 or 3
If λ=1,a+λb=(1+1)^i+(21)^j+(1+1)^k
=2^i+^j+2^k
If λ=3,a+λb=(1+3)^i+(23)^j+(1+3)^k
=4^i^j+4^k
