The value of $\alpha$,so that the volume of the parallelepiped formed by $\hat{i}+\alpha \hat{j}+\hat{k}$,$\hat{j}+\alpha \hat{k}$,and $\alpha \hat{i}+\hat{k}$ becomes maximum,is

If three conterminous edges of a parallelepiped are represented by $\vec{a} - \vec{b}$,$\vec{b} - \vec{c}$,and $\vec{c} - \vec{a}$,then its volume is

The value of $\lambda$ for which points $A(2, 2, 1)$,$B(1, 1, 1)$,$C(-\lambda, 2, 1)$,and $D(3, 0, -1)$ are coplanar is $\lambda = $ ............

Let $\vec{a}=\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}$, $\vec{b}=\hat{i}-2\hat{j}+\hat{k}$, $\vec{c}=\hat{i}+3\hat{j}-2\hat{k}$, and $\vec{d}=2\hat{i}+\hat{j}-\hat{k}$ be four vectors. Let $l=\vec{b} \cdot \vec{c}$ and $m=\vec{b} \cdot \vec{a}$. Find the value of the scalar triple product $[(m\vec{b}+l\vec{a}) \quad \vec{b} \quad \vec{d}]$.

If $a, b, c$ are non-negative distinct numbers and $a \hat{\imath}+a \hat{\jmath}+c \hat{k}$,$\hat{\imath}+\hat{k}$ and $c \hat{\imath}+c \hat{\jmath}+b \hat{k}$ are coplanar vectors,then

For any non-zero vectors $\bar{a}, \bar{b}, \bar{c}$,the value of $\bar{a} \cdot [(\bar{b} \times \bar{c}) \times (\bar{a} + \bar{b} + \bar{c})]$ is
