Solution

The correct option is A $\pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} (-^j +^k)$
Since, $\to a, \to b, \to c$ are coplanar.
$\Rightarrow \to c = x \to a + y \to b$ ....(1)
Since, $\to c ⊥ \to a$
$\Rightarrow \to c . \to a = 0$
$\Rightarrow (x \to a + y \to b) . \to a = 0$
$\Rightarrow x {\to a}^{2} + y \to b . \to a = 0$
$\Rightarrow 6 x + 3 y = 0$
$\Rightarrow y = - 2 x$

So, by (1), we get
$\to c = x (\to a - 2 \to b)$
$\to c = x (- 3^i + 3^j)$
Unit vector $\to c = \pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} (-^j +^k)$
