If $ai + 6j - k$ and $7i - 3j + 17k$ are perpendicular vectors,then the value of $a$ is

Consider two vectors $\overrightarrow{u} = 3\hat{i} - \hat{j}$ and $\overrightarrow{v} = 2\hat{i} + \hat{j} - \lambda\hat{k}$,where $\lambda > 0$. The angle between them is given by $\cos^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2\sqrt{7}}\right)$. Let $\vec{v} = \vec{v}_1 + \vec{v}_2$,where $\vec{v}_1$ is parallel to $\overrightarrow{u}$ and $\vec{v}_2$ is perpendicular to $\overrightarrow{u}$. Then the value $|\vec{v}_1|^2 + |\vec{v}_2|^2$ is equal to

If $|\bar{a}|=2, |\bar{b}|=3$ and $\bar{a}, \bar{b}$ are mutually perpendicular vectors,then the area of the triangle whose vertices are $0, \bar{a}+2\bar{b}, \bar{a}-2\bar{b}$ is

Let $|\vec{a}| = |\vec{b}| = 1$ and $|\vec{a} + \vec{b}| = \sqrt{3}$. If $\vec{c}$ is a vector satisfying the condition $\vec{c} - \vec{a} - 2\vec{b} = 3(\vec{a} \times \vec{b})$,then $\vec{c} \cdot \vec{b} = \dots$ (in $/2$)

If $p$-th, $q$-th, and $r$-th terms of a geometric progression are the positive numbers $a, b,$ and $c$ respectively, then the angle between the vectors $(\log a^2) i + (\log b^2) j + (\log c^2) k$ and $(q-r) i + (r-p) j + (p-q) k$ is

Let $v_1, v_2, v_3, v_4$ be unit vectors in the $XY$-plane,one each in the interior of the four quadrants. Which of the following statements is necessarily true?
