Let three vectors $\vec{a}, \vec{b}$ and $\vec{c}$ be such that $\vec{a} \times \vec{b} = \vec{c}$,$\vec{b} \times \vec{c} = \vec{a}$ and $|\vec{a}| = 2$. Then which one of the following is not true?

If $\hat{i}-3 \hat{j}+\hat{k}$ and $\lambda \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}$ are coplanar with a third vector,assuming the question implies the vectors are linearly dependent or part of a coplanar set,find $\lambda$. Given the standard form of such problems,if we consider the vectors $\vec{a} = \hat{i}-3 \hat{j}+\hat{k}$ and $\vec{b} = \lambda \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}$ to be coplanar with a reference vector,let us assume the third vector is $\hat{k}$. For these to be coplanar,the scalar triple product must be zero: $\left|\begin{array}{ccc} 1 & -3 & 1 \\ \lambda & 3 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{array}\right| = 0$. Solving this,$\lambda$ is equal to:

If $a, b,$ and $c$ are coplanar unit vectors,find the value of the scalar triple product $[2a - b, 2b - c, 2c - a]$.

Volume of a parallelepiped with coterminous edges $\vec{a}, \vec{b}, \vec{c}$ is $12$ cubic units. The volume of a tetrahedron with coterminous edges $\vec{a} - \vec{b}, \vec{b} - \vec{c}, \vec{a} + \vec{b} - \vec{c}$ will be ............. cubic units.

If the vectors $ai + j + k$,$i + bj + k$,and $i + j + ck$ $(a \ne 1, b \ne 1, c \ne 1)$ are coplanar,then the value of $\frac{1}{1 - a} + \frac{1}{1 - b} + \frac{1}{1 - c} = $
