Three vectors $\hat{i}-\hat{k}$,$\lambda \hat{i}+\hat{j}+(1-\lambda) \hat{k}$,and $\mu \hat{i}+\lambda \hat{j}+(1+\lambda-\mu) \hat{k}$ represent the coterminous edges of a parallelepiped. The volume of the parallelepiped depends on:

  • A
    only $\lambda$
  • B
    only $\mu$
  • C
    both $\lambda$ and $\mu$
  • D
    neither $\lambda$ nor $\mu$
