Let $a = i - k$, $b = xi + j + (1 - x)k$, and $c = yi + xj + (1 + x - y)k$. Then $[a\,b\,c]$ depends on

Let $\overline{a}, \overline{b}, \overline{c}$ be three non-coplanar vectors and $\overline{p}, \overline{q}, \overline{r}$ be defined by the relations $\overline{p}=\frac{\overline{b} \times \overline{c}}{[\overline{a} \overline{b} \overline{c}]}, \overline{q}=\frac{\overline{c} \times \overline{a}}{[\overline{a} \overline{b} \overline{c}]}, \overline{r}=\frac{\overline{a} \times \overline{b}}{[\overline{a} \overline{b} \overline{c}]}$. Then the value of the expression $(\overline{a}+\overline{b}) \cdot \overline{p}+(\overline{b}+\overline{c}) \cdot \overline{q}+(\overline{c}+\overline{a}) \cdot \overline{r}$ is equal to:
