Let $\overrightarrow{a}=\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}$ and $\overrightarrow{b}=\hat{j}-\hat{k}.$ If $\overrightarrow{c}$ is a vector such that $\vec{a} \times \vec{c}=\vec{b}$ and $\vec{a} \cdot \vec{c}=3$,then $\vec{a} \cdot(\vec{b} \times \vec{c})$ is equal to :

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:
