$A$ vector $\overrightarrow{a} = \alpha \hat{i} + 2 \hat{j} + \beta \hat{k}$ (where $\alpha, \beta \in R$) lies in the plane of the vectors $\overrightarrow{b} = \hat{i} + \hat{j}$ and $\overrightarrow{c} = \hat{i} - \hat{j} + 4 \hat{k}$. If $\overrightarrow{a}$ bisects the angle between $\overrightarrow{b}$ and $\overrightarrow{c}$,then:

In a plane, $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$ are the position vectors of two points $A$ and $B$ respectively. $A$ point $P$ with position vector $\vec{r}$ moves on that plane in such a way that $|\vec{r}-\vec{a}| - |\vec{r}-\vec{b}| = c$ (where $c$ is a real constant). The locus of $P$ is a conic section whose eccentricity is:

Let $\vec{a} = \hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k}$,$\vec{b} = \hat{i} - \hat{j} + \hat{k}$,and $\vec{c} = \hat{i} - \hat{j} - \hat{k}$ be three vectors. $A$ vector $\vec{v}$ in the plane of $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$,whose projection on $\vec{c}$ is $1/\sqrt{3}$,is given by:

If $\vec{a}, \vec{b}$ and $\vec{c}$ are unit vectors such that $\vec{a} + 2\vec{b} + 2\vec{c} = \vec{0}$,then $|\vec{a} \times \vec{c}|$ is equal to
