Let a=3i^−j^+2k^\mathbf{a}=3\hat i-\hat j+2\hat k and b=2i^+4j^−k^\mathbf{b}=2\hat i+4\hat j-\hat k. Which of the following is a unit vector perpendicular to both a\mathbf{a} and b\mathbf{b}? (a) −i^−j^+2k^6\displaystyle \frac{-\hat i-\hat j+2\hat k}{\sqrt6} (b) −i^+j^+2k^14\displaystyle \frac{-\hat i+\hat j+2\hat k}{\sqrt{14}} (c) −i^+j^+2k^6\displaystyle \frac{-\hat i+\hat j+2\hat k}{\sqrt6} (d) 5i^+3j^+k^35\displaystyle \frac{5\hat i+3\hat j+\hat k}{\sqrt{35}}
