Solution

The correct option is D there is no such value for x.
Let a=2x2^i+4x^j+^k and b=7^i2^j+x^k.
The angle between a and b is obtuse
a.b<0
14x28x+x<0
x(2x1)<0
x(0,12). ................(1)
Also it is given b.^k=x and b.^kb<cosπ6=32
2x>353+x2
x2>159............................(2)
There is no common value for Eqs.(1) and (2)
