Answer

Given: $\vec{\text{a}}=3\hat{\text{i}}-\hat{\text{j}}-4\hat{\text{k}},\ \vec{\text{b}}=-2\hat{\text{i}}+4\hat{\text{j}}-3\hat{\text{k}} $ and $\vec{\text{c}}=\hat{\text{i}}+2\hat{\text{j}}-\hat{\text{k}}$
Now, $3\vec{\text{a}}-2\vec{\text{b}}+4\vec{\text{c}}=3\big(\vec{\text{a}}=3\hat{\text{i}}-\hat{\text{j}}-4\hat{\text{k}}\big)\\-2\big(\vec{\text{b}}=-2\hat{\text{i}}+4\hat{\text{j}}-3\hat{\text{k}}\big)+4\big(\vec{\text{c}}=\hat{\text{i}}+2\hat{\text{j}}-\hat{\text{k}}\big)$
$=9\hat{\text{i}}-3\hat{\text{j}}-12\hat{\text{k}}+4\hat{\text{i}}-8\hat{\text{j}}+6\hat{\text{k}}+4\hat{\text{i}}+8\hat{\text{j}}-4\hat{\text{k}}$
$=17\hat{\text{i}}-3\hat{\text{j}}-10\hat{\text{k}}$
Hence, $\big|3\vec{\text{a}}-2\vec{\text{b}}+4\vec{\text{c}}\big|$
$=\sqrt{17^2+(-3)^2+(-10)^2}$
$=\sqrt{289+9+100}$
$=\sqrt{398}$
