Solution

The correct option is B 9
Given a=^i^k,b=^i+^j,c=^i+2^j+3^k
r×b=c×b and r.a=0
Cross product with a on both sides.
(r×b)×a=(c×b)a
(r.a)b(b.a)r=(c.a)b(b.a)c
a.b=(1)(1)+(1)(0)+(1)(0)=1
b.C=(1)(1)+(1)(2)+(0)(3)=1
c.a=(1)(1)+(0)(2)+(1)(3)=4
r=4bc
r=4b+c
=4^i+4^j+^i+2^j+3^k
=3^i+6^i+3^k
r.b(3^i+6^j+3^k).(^i+^j)
=3+6
=9
