Let $\vec{a}=\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+\hat{k}$ and $\vec{b}=2\hat{i}+\hat{j}-\hat{k}$. Let $\hat{c}$ be a unit vector in the plane of the vectors $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$ and be perpendicular to $\vec{a}$. Then such a vector $\hat{c}$ is :

  • A
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}(\hat{j}-2\hat{k})$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}(-\hat{i}+\hat{j}-\hat{k})$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}(\hat{i}-\hat{j}+\hat{k})$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(-\hat{i}+\hat{k})$
