Let $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$ be two vectors such that $|\vec{a}|=1$,$|\vec{b}|=4$ and $\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}=2$. If $\vec{c}=(2 \vec{a} \times \vec{b})-3 \vec{b}$ and the angle between $\vec{b}$ and $\vec{c}$ is $\alpha$,then $192 \sin^2 \alpha$ is equal to

Let $\vec{a}=2 \hat{i}+\hat{j}-2 \hat{k}$,$\vec{b}=\hat{i}+\hat{j}$ and $\vec{c}$ be a vector such that $|\vec{c}-\vec{a}|=3$. If $\vec{p}=\vec{a} \times \vec{b}$,then the angle between $\vec{p}$ and $\vec{c}$ is $\frac{\pi}{6}$ and $|\vec{p} \times \vec{c}|=3$. Thus,$\vec{a} \cdot \vec{c}$ is equal to:

Let $\overrightarrow{a}=a_1 \hat{i}+a_2 \hat{j}+a_3 \hat{k}$.
Assertion $(A)$ : The identity $|\overrightarrow{a} \times \hat{i}|^2+|\overrightarrow{a} \times \hat{j}|^2+|\overrightarrow{a} \times \hat{k}|^2=2|\overrightarrow{a}|^2$ holds for $\overrightarrow{a}$.
Reason $(R)$ : $\overrightarrow{a} \times \hat{i}=a_3 \hat{j}-a_2 \hat{k}$,$\overrightarrow{a} \times \hat{j}=a_1 \hat{k}-a_3 \hat{i}$,and $\overrightarrow{a} \times \hat{k}=a_2 \hat{i}-a_1 \hat{j}$.
