Solution

The correct option is B 2^i + 3^j + 3^k
Given,
a=2^ı^ȷ+^k
b=1+2^ȷ^k
¯c=^ı+^ȷ2^k
A/C vector in the plane of b and c is
γ=b+d(τ)=^ı+2^ȷ^k+λ(^ı+^ȷ2^k)=(1+λ)^ı+(2+λ)^ȷ+(12λ)^k^ı

Given,
projection of r on a is 23
ra|a|=23
(1+λ)2(2+λ)+(12λ)4+1+1]=23
=2+2x12λ12A6=23
=11λ1=2×3×23=1+λ=2 or 1λ=2d=1 or λ=3
Onputting the value of λ=1 and -3 we get,
r=2^ı+3^ȷ3^k and 2^ı^ȷ+5k

Option B is correct
