The abscissae of the points of the curve $y = x(x - 2)(x - 4)$ where the tangents are parallel to the $x$-axis are obtained as:

Let $x_0$ be the point of local minima of $f(x) = \overline{a} \cdot (\overline{b} \times \overline{c})$ where $\overline{a} = x \hat{i} - 2 \hat{j} + 3 \hat{k}$,$\overline{b} = -2 \hat{i} + x \hat{j} - \hat{k}$,and $\overline{c} = 7 \hat{i} - 2 \hat{j} + x \hat{k}$. Then the value of $\overline{a} \cdot \overline{b}$ at $x = x_0$ is:
