For what value of $a$ is the volume of the parallelepiped formed by the vectors $\hat{i} + a\hat{j} + \hat{k}$,$\hat{j} + a\hat{k}$,and $a\hat{i} + \hat{k}$ minimum?

If $A \equiv (1, -1, 0)$,$B \equiv (0, 1, -1)$,and $C \equiv (-1, 0, 1)$,then the unit vector $\overline{d}$ such that $\overline{a}$ and $\overline{d}$ are perpendicular and $\overline{b}, \overline{c}, \overline{d}$ are coplanar is

The volume of a parallelepiped whose coterminous edges are represented by unit vectors $\hat{a}, \hat{b}, \hat{c}$ such that $\hat{a} \cdot \hat{b} = \hat{b} \cdot \hat{c} = \hat{c} \cdot \hat{a} = \frac{1}{2}$ is:

Which of the following expressions is meaningful?

Which of the following is not true?

If $p = \frac{b \times c}{[a, b, c]}, q = \frac{c \times a}{[a, b, c]}, r = \frac{a \times b}{[a, b, c]}$,where $a, b, c$ are three non-coplanar vectors,then the value of $(a + b + c) \cdot (p + q + r)$ is given by
