Let $\overrightarrow{a} = 2\hat{i} - 3\hat{j} + 4\hat{k}$ and $\overrightarrow{b} = 7\hat{i} + \hat{j} - 6\hat{k}$. If $\overrightarrow{r} \times \overrightarrow{a} = \overrightarrow{r} \times \overrightarrow{b}$ and $\overrightarrow{r} \cdot (\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + \hat{k}) = -3$,then $\overrightarrow{r} \cdot (2\hat{i} - 3\hat{j} + \hat{k})$ is equal to:

Two adjacent sides of a parallelogram $ABCD$ are given by $\overline{AB} = 2\hat{i} + 10\hat{j} + 11\hat{k}$ and $\overline{AD} = -\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 2\hat{k}$. The side $AD$ is rotated by an acute angle $\alpha$ in the plane of the parallelogram so that $AD$ becomes $AD'$. If $AD'$ makes a right angle with the side $AB$,then $\cos \alpha = $

Two adjacent sides of a parallelogram are represented by $\vec{AB} = 2\hat{i} + 10\hat{j} + 11\hat{k}$ and $\vec{AD} = -\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 2\hat{k}$. The side $\vec{AD}$ is rotated by an acute angle $\theta$ in the plane of the parallelogram such that $\vec{AD}$ becomes $\vec{AD'}$. If $\vec{AD'}$ is perpendicular to $\vec{AB}$,find $\cos \theta$.

Let $\vec{p}$ and $\vec{q}$ be the position vectors of points $P$ and $Q$ respectively,with respect to the origin $O$,and let $|\vec{p}|=p, |\vec{q}|=q$. The points $R$ and $S$ divide the line segment $PQ$ internally and externally in the ratio $2:3$ respectively. If $\vec{OR}$ and $\vec{OS}$ are perpendicular,then:

The vector projection of $\vec{b}$ on $\vec{a}$ where $\vec{a}=3 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+5 \hat{k}$ and $\vec{b}=7 \hat{i}-5 \hat{j}-\hat{k}$ is:
