abcdef is a regular hexagon where centre o is the origin if

$$ABCDEF$$ is a regular hexagon where centre $$O$$ is the origin. If the position vectors of $$A$$ and $$B$$ are $$\hat i - \hat j + 2\hat k$$ and $$2\hat i + \hat j - \hat k$$ respectively then $$\overrightarrow {BC} $$ is equal to :

A. $$\hat i + \hat j - 2\hat k$$

B. $$ - \hat i + \hat j - 2\hat k$$

C. $$3\hat i + 3\hat j - 4\hat k$$

D. none of these

Answer : $$ - \hat i + \hat j - 2\hat k$$

Solution :
$$\eqalign{ & \overrightarrow {OA} = \hat i - \hat j + 2\hat k,\,\,\overrightarrow {OB} = 2\hat i + \hat j - \hat k \cr & \therefore \,\overrightarrow {OC} = \overrightarrow {AB} = \overrightarrow {OB} - \overrightarrow {OA} \cr & = \hat i + 2\hat j - 3\hat k \cr} $$
