(i) $Y_{OA}=1i-2j+3k\ m$

$\begin{align*}\therefore M_O^F&=\begin{vmatrix}i&j&k\\3&-4&12\\1&-2&3\end{vmatrix}\\[2ex]&=i(-4\times 3+2\times 12)-j(3\times 3-1\times 12)+k(-3\times 2+4\times 1)\\[2ex]&=12i+3j-2kNm\end{align*}$

(ii) $Y_{BA}=-i-3j+k\ m$

$\begin{align*}\therefore M_B^F&=\begin{vmatrix}i&j&k\\3&-4&12\\-1&-3&1\end{vmatrix}\\[2ex]&=i(-4+36)-j(3+12)+k(-9-4)\\[2ex]&=32i-15j-13kNm\end{align*}$
