Detailed Solution

Let c→=xi^+yj^+zk^. since a,b,c are coplanar , so
xyz11−11−11=0⇒0⋅x−2y−2z=0⇒y+z=0.
Also c→ is perpendicular to a→, so x+y−z=0. Therefore x−2=y1=z−1 and x2+y2+z2=1 ( c→ being a unit vector). We have x=−26,y=16,z=−16.
Thus c→=16(−2i^+j^−k^)  a→×c→=i^j^k^11-1-21-1=(0i+3j+3k)
d→=1|a→×c→|a→×c→ d→=(0i+3j+3k)9+9=12(j+k).
