Solution

The correct option is B 13(5i+2j+2k)
Now,
a×b=∣ ∣ ∣ˆiˆjˆk111b1b2b3∣ ∣ ∣=ˆi(b3b2)ˆj(b3b1)+ˆk(b2b1)=ˆjˆkb3b2=1............(1)b3b1=1.............(2)Substracting(1)(2)weget,b3b2=0b3=b2a×b=b1+b2+b3=3=b1+b2+b2=3=b1+2b2=3

Solving then we get b1=53,b2=23,b3=23
Hence,
b=13(5i+2j+2k)

Hence, this is the answer.
