(B) Given $\vec{a}=\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-3 \hat{k}$ and $\vec{b}=2 \hat{i}-3 \hat{j}-5 \hat{k}$.First,calculate $\vec{a}-\vec{b} = (1-2)\hat{i} + (2-(-3))\hat{j} + (-3-(-5))\hat{k} = -\hat{i} + 5\hat{j} + 2\hat{k}$.The magnitude $|\vec{a}-\vec{b}| = \sqrt{(-1)^2 + 5^2 + 2^2} = \sqrt{1+25+4} = \sqrt{30}$.The magnitude $|\vec{a}| = \sqrt{1^2 + 2^2 + (-3)^2} = \sqrt{1+4+9} = \sqrt{14}$.The magnitude $|\vec{b}| = \sqrt{2^2 + (-3)^2 + (-5)^2} = \sqrt{4+9+25} = \sqrt{38}$.Now,check the options. For option $B$,$|\vec{b}|-|\vec{a}| = \sqrt{38} - \sqrt{14} \approx 6.16 - 3.74 = 2.42$.Since $|\vec{a}-\vec{b}| = \sqrt{30} \approx 5.47$,we have $5.47 > 2.42$.Thus,$|\vec{a}-\vec{b}| > |\vec{b}|-|\vec{a}|$ is correct.

If $\vec{a}=\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-3 \hat{k}$ and $\vec{b}=2 \hat{i}-3 \hat{j}-5 \hat{k}$,then
