Solution

The correct option is D $- \frac{53 ˆ i + 36 ˆ j - 122 ˆ k}{\sqrt{18989}}$
The unit vector which is coplanar with the vectors $\to A and \to B$ and perpendicular to the vector $\to C$ will be along the direction of vector triple product of $\to A, \to B and \to C$ .
$λ (\to A \times \to B) \times \to C = λ [(\to A . \to C) \to B - (\to B . \to C) \to A]$
$\to A . \to C = (2 ˆ i - 3 ˆ j + ˆ k) . (8 ˆ i - 5 ˆ j + 2 ˆ k) = 33 \to B . \to C = (3 ˆ i - ˆ j - 3 ˆ k) . (8 ˆ i - 5 ˆ j + 2 ˆ k) = 23$
$∴ λ (\to A \times \to B) \times \to C = λ (33 (3 ˆ i - ˆ j - 3 ˆ k) - 23 (2 ˆ i - 3 ˆ j + ˆ k)]$

$= λ (53 ˆ i + 36 ˆ j - 122 ˆ k]$

Unit vector will be

$= \pm \frac{53 ˆ i + 36 ˆ j - 122 ˆ k}{\sqrt{{(53)}^{2} + {(36)}^{2} + {(- 122)}^{2}}}$

$= \pm \frac{53 ˆ i + 36 ˆ j - 122 ˆ k}{\sqrt{18989}}$
