  • B
    $\frac{1}{4}(a^2+3b^2-c^2)$

If the angles between the sides of the triangle $ABC$ formed by $A(2,3,5)$,$B(-1,3,2)$ and $C(3,5,-2)$ are $\alpha, \beta$ and $\gamma$,then $\sin^2 \alpha + \sin^2 \beta + \sin^2 \gamma = $

If either vector $\vec{a}=\vec{0}$ or $\vec{b}=\vec{0},$ then $\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}=0 .$ But the converse need not be true. Justify your answer with an example.

Vectors $a, b, c$ are inclined to each other at an angle of $60^\circ$. If $|a| = 2, |b| = 2$,and $|c| = 2$,then calculate the value of $(2a + 3b - 5c) \cdot (4a - 6b + 10c)$.
