The area of the parallelogram whose sides are represented by the vector `hat(j)+3hat(k)` and `hat(i)+2hat(j)-hat(k)` isA. `sqrt(16)sq.unit`B. `sqrt(59)sq.unit`C. `sqrt(49)sq.unit`D. `sqrt(52)sq.unit`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`vec(A)= hat(j)+3hat(k), vec(B)= hat(i)+2hat(j)-hat(k)`
`vec(C )= vec(A)xxvec(B) = |(hati, hatj, hatk), (0, 1, 3), (1, 2, -1)| = -7hat(i)+3hat(j)-hat(k)`
Hence area `=|vec(C )|= sqrt(49+9+1)= sqrt(59) sq.unit`
