The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

(A): \(4\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} - 4\hat{k}\) has direction ratios \(4, -2, -4\). Simplifying these gives the ratios \(-2, 1, 2\), which matches with (II).

(B): \(4\hat{i} - 4\hat{j} + 2\hat{k}\). To find the dot product with \(-2\hat{i} + \hat{j} + 3\hat{k}\):

Dot product = \(4(-2) + (-4)(1) + 2(3) = -8 - 4 + 6 = -6\).

This matches with (IV).

(C): \(2\hat{i} - 4\hat{j} + 4\hat{k}\) makes an angle with \(\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} - \hat{k}\). The angle between two vectors is given by:

\[ \cos \theta = \frac{\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}}{|\vec{a}||\vec{b}|}. \]

After computation, this matches with (III).

(D): \(4\hat{i} - \hat{j} - 2\hat{k}\) is perpendicular to both \(\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + \hat{k}\) and \(2\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}\). This matches with (I).
