Which of the following 3×33\times3 determinants correctly represents a×b\mathbf a\times\mathbf b when a=2i^+3j^−k^\mathbf a=2\hat{i}+3\hat{j}-\hat{k} and b=i^−4j^+5k^\mathbf b=\hat{i}-4\hat{j}+5\hat{k}? (a) ∣i^21j^3−4k^−15∣\displaystyle \begin{vmatrix} \hat{i} & 2 & 1\\ \hat{j} & 3 & -4\\ \hat{k} & -1 & 5 \end{vmatrix} (b) ∣i^j^k^23−11−4−5∣\displaystyle \begin{vmatrix} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k}\\ 2 & 3 & -1\\ 1 & -4 & -5 \end{vmatrix} (c) ∣i^j^k^23−11−45∣\displaystyle \begin{vmatrix} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k}\\ 2 & 3 & -1\\ 1 & -4 & 5 \end{vmatrix} (d) ∣i^j^k^1−4523−1∣\displaystyle \begin{vmatrix} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k}\\ 1 & -4 & 5\\ 2 & 3 & -1 \end{vmatrix}
