Solution

The correct options are
A $3$
D $- 4$
$\to a \times (\to b - 2 \to c) = 0$
$\to b - 2 \to c | | \to a$
$\to b - 2 \to c = k \to a$ ---(1)
$| \to b | = | k \to a + 2 \to c |$
$4 = \sqrt{k^{2} | \to a |^{2} + 4 | \to c |^{2} + 4 k \to c \to a}$
$16 = k^{2} + 4 + k$
$= k^{2} + k - 12$
$= (K + 4) (K - 3)$
$K = - 4, 3$
