Solution

The correct option is A $4^i -^j + 4^k$
Let vector $\to r$ be coplanar to $\to a$ and $\to b . ∴ \to r = \to a + t \to b \Rightarrow \to r = (^i + 2^j +^k) + t (^i -^j +^k) =^i (1 + t) +^j (2 - t) +^k (1 + t)$
The projection of $\to r$ on $\to c = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3} .}$ [given]
$\Rightarrow \frac{\to r . \to c}{| \to c |} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \Rightarrow \frac{| 1. (1 + t) + 1. (2 - t) - 1. (1 + t) |}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$
$\Rightarrow (2 - t) = \pm 1 \Rightarrow t = 1 o r 3$
When, t = 1, we have $\to r = 2^i +^j + 2^k$
When, t = 3, we have $\to r = 4^i -^j + 4^k$
