If $\vec{a} = 4\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} + \hat{k}$,$\vec{b} = 3\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} - \hat{k}$,and $\vec{c} = 2\hat{i} - \hat{j} + 2\hat{k}$ represent the three coterminous edges of a parallelepiped,find its volume.

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

Let $\vec{a}, \vec{b}$ and $\vec{c}$ be three non-zero non-coplanar vectors. Let the position vectors of four points $A, B, C$ and $D$ be $\vec{a}-\vec{b}+\vec{c}$,$\lambda \vec{a}-3 \vec{b}+4 \vec{c}$,$-\vec{a}+2 \vec{b}-3 \vec{c}$ and $2 \vec{a}-4 \vec{b}+6 \vec{c}$ respectively. If $\overrightarrow{AB}$,$\overrightarrow{AC}$ and $\overrightarrow{AD}$ are coplanar,then $\lambda$ is :

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:
