As we have learned

Applications of Vectors -

$\vec{M}=\left ( \vec{r}_{1}-\vec{r}_{2} \right )\times \vec{F}$

- wherein

$\vec{r}_{1}$ and $\vec{r}_{2}$ are position vector's of the point of the application of the forces $\vec{F}$ and $-\vec{F}$ .

$|\vec M| = |(\vec r_1-\vec r_2)\times \vec F|$

$\vec r_1-\vec r_2= \hat i - 2\hat j$

$(\vec r_1-\vec r_2)\times \vec F= (\hat i-2\hat j ) \times (\hat i + \hat j+ \hat k)$

$=\begin{vmatrix} \hat i & \hat j & \hat k \\ 1 & -2 & 0\\ 1&1 &1 \end{vmatrix} = -2 \hat i -\hat j +3 \hat k$

$|(\vec r_1-\vec r_2)\times \vec F|=\sqrt{4+1+9}= \sqrt{14}$
