Let a=2i^−j^+k^\mathbf{a} = 2\hat{\mathbf{i}} - \hat{\mathbf{j}} + \hat{\mathbf{k}} , b=i^+2j^−k^\mathbf{b} = \hat{\mathbf{i}} + 2\hat{\mathbf{j}} - \hat{\mathbf{k}} and c=i^+j^−2k^\mathbf{c} = \hat{\mathbf{i}} + \hat{\mathbf{j}} - 2\hat{\mathbf{k}} be three vectors. A vector in the plane of b\mathbf{b} and c\mathbf{c} whose projection on a\mathbf{a} is of magnitude 23\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}} is a. 2i^+3j^−3k^2\hat{\mathbf{i}} + 3\hat{\mathbf{j}} - 3\hat{\mathbf{k}} b. 2i^+3j^+3k^2\hat{\mathbf{i}} + 3\hat{\mathbf{j}} + 3\hat{\mathbf{k}} c. −2i^−j^+5k^-2\hat{\mathbf{i}} - \hat{\mathbf{j}} + 5\hat{\mathbf{k}} d. 2i^+j^+5k^2\hat{\mathbf{i}} + \hat{\mathbf{j}} + 5\hat{\mathbf{k}}
