The value of $a$ for which the volume of the parallelepiped formed by $\hat{i} + a \hat{j} + \hat{k}$,$\hat{j} + a \hat{k}$ and $a \hat{i} + \hat{k}$ becomes minimum is

If $[\bar{a} \bar{b} \bar{c}] \neq 0$,then $\frac{[\bar{a}+\bar{b} \quad \bar{b}+\bar{c} \quad \bar{c}+\bar{a}]}{[\bar{b} \bar{c} \bar{a}]}=$

The volume of a parallelepiped whose coterminous edges are represented by the vectors $\overrightarrow{OA} = (2, 1, 1)$,$\overrightarrow{OB} = (3, -1, 1)$,and $\overrightarrow{OC} = (-1, 1, -1)$ is . . . . . . cubic units.

The number of distinct real values of $\lambda$,for which the vectors $-\lambda^2 \hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}$,$\hat{i}-\lambda^2 \hat{j}+\hat{k}$ and $\hat{i}+\hat{j}-\lambda^2 \hat{k}$ are coplanar,is

Let $\overrightarrow{a}=\hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}$, $\overrightarrow{b}=2 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}-\hat{k}$ and $\overrightarrow{c}=\lambda \hat{i}+\hat{j}+(2 \lambda-1) \hat{k}$. If $\overrightarrow{c}$ is parallel to the plane containing $\overrightarrow{a}$ and $\overrightarrow{b}$, then $\lambda$ is equal to

If $a = i + j + k$,$b = 4i + 3j + 4k$ and $c = i + \alpha j + \beta k$ are linearly dependent vectors and $|c| = \sqrt{3}$,then
