For any vector $x$, where $\hat{i}, \hat{j}, \hat{k}$ have their usual meanings, the value of $(x \times \hat{i})^{2} + (x \times \hat{j})^{2} + (x \times \hat{k})^{2}$ is equal to

If $(\bar{i}+\bar{j}+\bar{k})$,$(\bar{i}+2\bar{j}+3\bar{k})$ and $(2\bar{i}-\bar{j}+\bar{k})$ are the position vectors of the vertices $A$,$B$ and $C$ of $\triangle ABC$ respectively,then the vector equation of the altitude through $A$ is

If $\vec{a}_1$ is the component of vector $\vec{a}$ along the direction of vector $\vec{b}$,and $\vec{a}_2$ is the component of $\vec{a}$ perpendicular to $\vec{b}$,then $\vec{a}_1 \times \vec{a}_2 = \dots$

Let $\vec{a}=\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+\lambda \hat{k}$,$\vec{b}=3 \hat{i}-5 \hat{j}-\lambda \hat{k}$,$\vec{a} \cdot \vec{c}=7$,$2 \vec{b} \cdot \vec{c}+43=0$,and $\vec{a} \times \vec{c}=\vec{b} \times \vec{c}$. Then $|\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}|$ is equal to

Let $\vec{a} = 3\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + x\hat{k}$ and $\vec{b} = \hat{i} - \hat{j} + \hat{k}$,for some real $x$. Then $|\vec{a} \times \vec{b}| = r$ is possible if
