In the product

$\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}} =\mathrm{q}(\vec{v} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}})$

$=\mathrm{q} \vec{v} \times\left(\mathrm{B} \hat{i}+\mathrm{B} \hat{j}+\mathrm{B}_{0} \hat{k}\right)$

For $\mathrm{q}=1$ and $\vec{v}=2 \hat{i}+4 \hat{j}+6 \hat{k}$ and

$\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}=4 \hat{i}-20 \hat{j}+12 \hat{k}$

What will be the complete expression for $\vec{B}$ ?
