The sides of a parallelogram are 2i^+4j^−5k^2\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} - 5\hat{k} and i^+2j^+3k^\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 3\hat{k} . The unit vector parallel to one of the diagonals is (1) 17(3i^+6j^−2k^)\frac{1}{7}(3\hat{i} + 6\hat{j} - 2\hat{k}) (2) 17(3i^−6j^−2k^)\frac{1}{7}(3\hat{i} - 6\hat{j} - 2\hat{k}) (3) 169(i^+2j^+8k^)\frac{1}{\sqrt{69}}(\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 8\hat{k}) (4) 169(−i^−2j^+8k^)\frac{1}{\sqrt{69}}(-\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} + 8\hat{k})
