Let $\vec{a} = 2\hat{i} + \hat{j} - \hat{k}$ and $\vec{b} = \hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + \hat{k}$ be two vectors. Consider a vector $\vec{c} = \alpha\vec{a} + \beta\vec{b}$,where $\alpha, \beta \in \mathbb{R}$. If the projection of $\vec{c}$ on the vector $(\vec{a} + \vec{b})$ is $3\sqrt{2}$,then the minimum value of $(\vec{c} - (\vec{a} \times \vec{b})) \cdot \vec{c}$ is equal to:

  • A
    $18$
  • B
    $20$
  • C
    $25$
  • D
    $30$
