The correct answer is: 313i^-413j^+1213k^

ad=bd=cd=0 (Given)

a=b=c=d=1     ab=32
a×b×c×d=326i^-213j^+613k^

a×bdc-a×bcd=326i^-213j^+613k^   ...(1)

 a, b, c are coplanar a×bc=0

d is perpendicular to a,bd must be parallel to a×b

So, the angle between d and a×b is either 0o or 180o

From 1, we get,

±a×bdc=226i^-213j^+613k^

±absin30odc=326i^-213j^+613k^

±c2=326i^-213j^+613k^c=±3i^-4j^+12k^13
