Solution

The correct options are
B $\to B = \frac{(\to b \times \to a) + \to a (| \to a |^{2} - 1)}{| \to a |^{2}}$
C $\to A = \frac{(\to a \times \to b) + \to a}{| \to a |^{2}}$
We have $\to A + \to B = \to a$
or $\to A \cdot \to a + \to B \cdot \to a = \to a \cdot \to a$
or $1 + \to B \cdot \to a = a^{2}$ (given $\to A \cdot \to a = 1$ )
or $\to B \cdot \to a = a^{2} - 1$ $(i)$
Also, $\to A \times \to B = \to b$
or $\to a \times (\to A \times \to B) = \to a \times \to b$
or $(\to a \cdot \to B) \to A - (\to a \cdot \to A) \to B = \to a \times \to b$
or $(a^{2} - 1) \to A - \to B = \to a \times \to b$ $(i i)$
(using $(i)$ and $\to a \cdot \to A = 1$ )
and $\to A + \to B = a$ $(i i i)$
From $(i i)$ and $(i i i)$ , we have
$\to A = \frac{(\to a \times \to b) + \to a}{a^{2}}$
$\to B = \to a - ⎧ ⎪ ⎨ ⎪ ⎩ \frac{(\to a \times \to b) + \to a}{a^{2}} ⎫ ⎪ ⎬ ⎪ ⎭$
$\to B = \frac{(\to b \times \to a) + \to a (a^{2} - 1)}{a^{2}}$
