Let $x_{0}$ be the point of local maxima of $f(x)=\vec{a} \cdot(\vec{b} \times \vec{c}),$ where $\vec{a}=x \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}$,$\vec{b}=-2 \hat{i}+x \hat{j}-\hat{k}$ and $\vec{c}=7 \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+x \hat{k}$. Then the value of $\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}+\vec{b} \cdot \vec{c}+\vec{c} \cdot \vec{a}$ at $x=x_{0}$ is:

  • A
    $-30$
  • B
    $14$
  • C
    $-4$
  • D
    $-22$
