The correct answer is:
$\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}$ units
$\begin{aligned} & \frac{|(2 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}+\hat{k}) \cdot\{(\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}) \times(\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k})\}|}{|(\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}) \times(\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k})|} \\ & =\frac{|(2 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}+\hat{k}) \cdot(\hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+\hat{k})|}{|\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}|} \\ & =\frac{|2-6+1|}{\sqrt{1^2+(-2)^2+1^2}}=\frac{3}{\sqrt{6}}=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}\end{aligned}$
