Let a=i^+j^\mathbf{a} = \hat{i} + \hat{j} , b=j^+k^\mathbf{b} = \hat{j} + \hat{k} and c=αa+βb\mathbf{c} = \alpha\mathbf{a} + \beta\mathbf{b} . If the vectors, i^−2j^+k^\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} + \hat{k} , 3i^+2j^−k^3\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} - \hat{k} and c\mathbf{c} are coplanar, then αβ\frac{\alpha}{\beta} is equal to a. 1 b. 2 c. 3 d. -3
