  • A
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}(-\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k})$
  • B
    $(-\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k})$
  • C
    $\frac{(\hat{i} + \hat{j} - \hat{k})}{\sqrt{3}}$

If $\vec{a}, \vec{b}, \vec{c}$ are the position vectors of the vertices of a triangle,show that $\frac{1}{2}[\vec{b} \times \vec{c}+\vec{c} \times \vec{a}+\vec{a} \times \vec{b}]$ gives the vector area of the triangle. Hence,deduce the condition that the three points $\vec{a}, \vec{b}, \vec{c}$ are collinear. Also,find the unit vector normal to the plane of the triangle.

Let $\overrightarrow{OA}=\overrightarrow{a}$,$\overrightarrow{OB}=12 \overrightarrow{a}+4 \overrightarrow{b}$,and $\overrightarrow{OC}=\overrightarrow{b}$,where $O$ is the origin. If $S$ is the parallelogram with adjacent sides $\overrightarrow{OA}$ and $\overrightarrow{OC}$,then the ratio of the area of the quadrilateral $OABC$ to the area of $S$ is:

If the area of the parallelogram with $\bar{a}$ and $\bar{b}$ as two adjacent sides is $20$ square units,then the area of the parallelogram having $3 \bar{a} + \bar{b}$ and $2 \bar{a} + 3 \bar{b}$ as two adjacent sides in square units is

If $\bar{a}, \bar{b}, \bar{c}$ are non-coplanar unit vectors such that $\bar{a} \times(\bar{b} \times \bar{c})=\frac{(\bar{b}+\bar{c})}{\sqrt{2}}$,then the angle between $\bar{a}$ and $\bar{b}$ is
