Let $a, b$ and $c$ be three unit vectors such that $a \times (b \times c) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(b + c)$ and $b$ is not parallel to $c$. If $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are the angles between $a, b$ and $a, c$ respectively, then $\alpha - \beta =$

$(\vec{a} \times \vec{b}) \times [(\vec{b} \times \vec{c}) \times (\vec{a} \times \vec{b} + \vec{b} \times \vec{c} + \vec{c} \times \vec{a})]$ is

Statement $(A)$ : If $\vec{a}$ is perpendicular to $\vec{b}$ and $\vec{c}$,then $\vec{a} \times (\vec{b} \times \vec{c}) = 0$.
Reason $(R)$ : If $\vec{b}$ is perpendicular to $\vec{c}$,then $\vec{b} \times \vec{c} = 0$.

If $\vec{a} = -\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k}$ and $\vec{b} = 2\hat{i} + 0\hat{j} + \hat{k}$,find a vector $\vec{c}$ satisfying the following conditions:
$(i)$ $\vec{c}$ is coplanar with $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$.
$(ii)$ $\vec{c}$ is perpendicular to $\vec{b}$.
$(iii)$ $\vec{a} \cdot \vec{c} = 7$.
