Let $\vec{a} = \hat{i} - 2\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}$,$\vec{b} = \hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k}$ and $\vec{c}$ be a vector such that $\vec{a} \times \vec{c} = \vec{b}$ and $\vec{a} \cdot \vec{c} = 3$. If $\vec{c} = x\vec{a} + y\vec{b} + z(\vec{a} \times \vec{b})$,then the value of $x + y + z$ is:

  • A
    $1$
  • B
    $2$

If $\bar{a}=2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+\hat{k}, \bar{b}=\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-3 \hat{k}$ and $\bar{c}=3 \hat{i}+\lambda \hat{j}+5 \hat{k}$ are coplanar,then $\lambda$ is the root of the equation

If $\overrightarrow x = 3\hat i - 6\hat j - \hat k$,$\overrightarrow y = \hat i + 4\hat j - 3\hat k$ and $\overrightarrow z = 3\hat i - 4\hat j - 12\hat k$,then the magnitude of the projection of $\overrightarrow x \times \overrightarrow y$ on $\overrightarrow z$ 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:

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

If the volume of a parallelepiped whose coterminous edges are represented by the vectors $-12i + \alpha k$,$3j - k$,and $2i + j - 15k$ is $546$,find the value of $\alpha$.
