Solution

The correct option is B $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} (-^i +^j +^k)$
$^n = \frac{\to A \times \to B}{| \to A \times \to B |}$
We know that cross product of two vectors is given as
$\to A \times \to B = (^i +^j) \times (^j -^k)$
$= (^i \times^j) + (^j \times^j) - (^i \times^k) - (^j \times^k)$
$= -^i +^j +^k$
$| \to A \times \to B | = \sqrt{3}$
$\Rightarrow^n = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} (-^i +^j +^k)$
