Let $\vec{a} = \alpha \hat{i} + \hat{j} - \hat{k}$ and $\vec{b} = 2 \hat{i} + \hat{j} - \alpha \hat{k}$,where $\alpha > 0$. If the projection of $\vec{a} \times \vec{b}$ on the vector $\vec{c} = -\hat{i} + 2 \hat{j} - 2 \hat{k}$ is $30$,then $\alpha$ is equal to:

  • A
    $\frac{15}{2}$
  • B
    $8$
  • C
    $\frac{13}{2}$
  • D
    $7$
