Solution

The correct options are
B Length of side BC is of length $\sqrt{14}$ units.
C Angle between side AB & BC is $θ = c o s^{- 1} \sqrt{\frac{14}{19}}$ .

$\to B A = \to O A - \to O B$
$\Rightarrow \to B A = -^i - 3^j + 3^k$
$\to B C = \to O C - \to O B$
$\Rightarrow \to B C =^i - 2^j + 3^k$
$| \to B A | = \sqrt{19}$ and $| \to B C | = \sqrt{14}$
$\to B A . \to B C = | \to B A | | \to B C | c o s θ \Rightarrow c o s θ = \frac{\to B A . \to B C}{B A . B C}$
$c o s θ = \frac{- 1 + 6 + 9}{\sqrt{14} \sqrt{19}} = \frac{\sqrt{14}}{\sqrt{19}}$
