If $$\overrightarrow a ,\overrightarrow b ,\overrightarrow c$$ are non coplanar vectors and $$\lambda$$ is a real number then $$\left[ {\lambda \left( {\overrightarrow a + \overrightarrow b } \right)\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{\lambda ^2}\overrightarrow b \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\lambda \overrightarrow c } \right] = \left[ {\overrightarrow a \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\overrightarrow b + \overrightarrow c \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\overrightarrow b } \right]$$ for :

If $$\left( {\overrightarrow a \times \overrightarrow b } \right) \times \overrightarrow c = \overrightarrow a \times \left( {\overrightarrow b \times \overrightarrow c } \right)$$ where $${\overrightarrow a ,\overrightarrow b }$$ and $${\overrightarrow c }$$ are any three vectors such that $$\overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow b \ne 0,\,\,\overrightarrow b .\overrightarrow c \ne 0$$ then $${\overrightarrow a }$$ and $${\overrightarrow c }$$ are :

Let $$\overrightarrow a = \widehat i + \widehat j + \widehat k,\overrightarrow b = \widehat i - \widehat j + 2\widehat k$$ and $$\overrightarrow c = x\widehat i + \left( {x - 2} \right)\widehat j - \widehat k\,\,.$$ If the vectors $$\overrightarrow c$$ lies in the plane of $$\overrightarrow a$$ and $$\overrightarrow b$$, then $$x$$ equals :

The vector $$\overrightarrow a = \alpha \widehat i + 2\widehat j + \beta \widehat k$$ lies in the plane of the vectors $$\overrightarrow b = \widehat i + \widehat j$$ and $$\overrightarrow c = \widehat j + \widehat k$$ and bisects the angle between $$\overrightarrow b$$ and $$\overrightarrow c$$.Then which one of the following gives possible values of $$\alpha$$ and $$\beta$$ ?

If $$\overrightarrow u ,\overrightarrow v ,\overrightarrow w$$ are non-coplanar vectors and $$p,q$$ are real numbers, then the equality $$\left[ {3\overrightarrow u \,\,p\overrightarrow v \,\,p\overrightarrow w } \right] - \left[ {p\overrightarrow v \,\,\overrightarrow w \,\,q\overrightarrow u } \right] - \left[ {2\overrightarrow w \,\,q\overrightarrow v \,\,q\overrightarrow u } \right] = 0$$ holds for :

Let $$\overrightarrow a = \widehat j - \widehat k$$ and $$\overrightarrow c = \widehat i - \widehat j - \widehat k.$$ Then the vector $$\overrightarrow b$$ satisfying $$\overrightarrow a \times \overrightarrow b + \overrightarrow c = \overrightarrow 0$$ and $$\overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow b = 3$$ :

If $$\overrightarrow a = {1 \over {\sqrt {10} }}\left( {3\widehat i + \widehat k} \right)$$ and $$\overrightarrow b = {1 \over 7}\left( {2\widehat i + 3\widehat j - 6\widehat k} \right),$$ then the value of $$\left( {2\overrightarrow a - \overrightarrow b } \right)\left[ {\left( {\overrightarrow a \times \overrightarrow b } \right) \times \left( {\overrightarrow a + 2\overrightarrow b } \right)} \right]$$ is :

If $$\left[ {\overrightarrow a \times \overrightarrow b \,\,\,\,\overrightarrow b \times \overrightarrow c \,\,\,\,\overrightarrow c \times \overrightarrow a } \right] = \lambda {\left[ {\overrightarrow a\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, \overrightarrow b \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\overrightarrow c } \right]^2}$$ then $$\lambda$$ is equal to :

Let $$\overrightarrow a ,\overrightarrow b$$ and $$\overrightarrow c$$ be three non-zero vectors such that no two of them are collinear and $$\left( {\overrightarrow a \times \overrightarrow b } \right) \times \overrightarrow c = {1 \over 3}\left| {\overrightarrow b } \right|\left| {\overrightarrow c } \right|\overrightarrow a .$$ If $$\theta$$ is the angle between vectors $$\overrightarrow b$$ and $${\overrightarrow c }$$ , then a value of sin $$\theta$$ is :

Let $$\overrightarrow a ,\overrightarrow b$$ and $$\overrightarrow c$$ be three unit vectors such that $$\overrightarrow a \times \left( {\overrightarrow b \times \overrightarrow c } \right) = {{\sqrt 3 } \over 2}\left( {\overrightarrow b + \overrightarrow c } \right).$$ If $${\overrightarrow b }$$ is not parallel to $${\overrightarrow c },$$ then the angle between $${\overrightarrow a }$$ and $${\overrightarrow b }$$ is:
