Solution

The correct option is C a right angled triangle
$\to A = 3^i - 2^j +^k, \to B =^i - 3^j + 5^k, \to C = 2^i +^j - 4^k$
$∣ ∣ ∣ \to A ∣ ∣ ∣ = \sqrt{3^{2} + (- 2)^{2} + 1^{2}} = \sqrt{9 + 4 + 1} = \sqrt{14}$
$∣ ∣ ∣ \to B ∣ ∣ ∣ = \sqrt{1^{2} + (- 3)^{2} + 5^{2}} = \sqrt{1 + 9 + 25} = \sqrt{35}$
$∣ ∣ ∣ \to A ∣ ∣ ∣ = \sqrt{2^{2} + 1^{2} + (- 4)^{2}} = \sqrt{4 + 1 + 16} = \sqrt{21}$
As $B = \sqrt{A^{2} + C^{2}}$ , therefore $A B C$ will be a right angled triangle.
