let the vector Q is given as

[tex]\vec Q = a\hat i + b\hat j + c\hat k[/tex]

given that

[tex]P X Q = -6\hat j[/tex]

here we know that

[tex]P = 4\hat i + 3 \hatk[/tex]

now by above equation

[tex](4\hat i + 3\hat k) X (a\hat i + b\hat j + c\hat k) = - 6\hat j[/tex]

[tex]4b\hat k - 4c\hat j + 3a\hat j - 3b\hat i = - 6\hat j[/tex]

so by comparing both sides

b = 0

4c - 3a = 6

also we know that

[tex]a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = 17^2[/tex]

[tex]a^2 + 0 + (1.5 + 0.75a)^2 = 289[/tex]

by solving above equation

a = 12.85 and c = 11.14

so the vector Q is given as

[tex]Q = 12.85\hat i + 11.14\hat k[/tex]
