    If \[\mathbf{a}=\mathbf{i}-2\mathbf{j}+3\mathbf{k}\] and \[\mathbf{b}=3\mathbf{i}+\mathbf{j}+2\mathbf{k},\] then the unit vector perpendicular to a and b is [MP PET 1996]

    A)             \[\frac{\mathbf{i}+\mathbf{j}+\mathbf{k}}{\sqrt{3}}\]

    B)             \[\frac{\mathbf{i}-\mathbf{j}+\mathbf{k}}{\sqrt{3}}\]

    C)             \[\frac{-\mathbf{i}+\mathbf{j}+\mathbf{k}}{\sqrt{3}}\]

    D)             \[\frac{\mathbf{i}-\mathbf{j}-\mathbf{k}}{\sqrt{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Since the two vectors given in option c and d are unit as well as perpendicular to both the given vectors.
