$\bar{a}, \bar{b}, \bar{c}$ are three unit vectors such that $x \bar{a} + y \bar{b} + z \bar{c} = p(\bar{b} \times \bar{c}) + q(\bar{c} \times \bar{a}) + r(\bar{a} \times \bar{b})$. If $(\bar{a}, \bar{b}) = (\bar{b}, \bar{c}) = (\bar{c}, \bar{a}) = \frac{\pi}{3}$,$(\bar{a}, \bar{b} \times \bar{c}) = \frac{\pi}{6}$ and $\bar{a}, \bar{b}, \bar{c}$ form a right-handed system,then $\frac{x+y+z}{p+q+r} = $

If $\hat{i}-3 \hat{j}+\hat{k}$ and $\lambda \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}$ are coplanar with a third vector,assuming the question implies the vectors are linearly dependent or part of a coplanar set,find $\lambda$. Given the standard form of such problems,if we consider the vectors $\vec{a} = \hat{i}-3 \hat{j}+\hat{k}$ and $\vec{b} = \lambda \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}$ to be coplanar with a reference vector,let us assume the third vector is $\hat{k}$. For these to be coplanar,the scalar triple product must be zero: $\left|\begin{array}{ccc} 1 & -3 & 1 \\ \lambda & 3 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{array}\right| = 0$. Solving this,$\lambda$ is equal to:

If $\overrightarrow{a} \cdot \overrightarrow{b} = 1, \overrightarrow{b} \cdot \overrightarrow{c} = 2$ and $\overrightarrow{c} \cdot \overrightarrow{a} = 3$,then the value of $[\vec{a} \times(\vec{b} \times \vec{c}), \vec{b} \times(\vec{c} \times \vec{a}), \vec{c} \times(\vec{b} \times \vec{a})]$ is

If $a, b, c$ are non-coplanar vectors and $\lambda$ is a real number,then the vectors $a + 2b + 3c, \lambda b + 4c$ and $(2\lambda - 1)c$ are non-coplanar for

Let $x_{0}$ be the point of local maxima of $f(x)=\vec{a} \cdot(\vec{b} \times \vec{c}),$ where $\vec{a}=x \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}$,$\vec{b}=-2 \hat{i}+x \hat{j}-\hat{k}$ and $\vec{c}=7 \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+x \hat{k}$. Then the value of $\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}+\vec{b} \cdot \vec{c}+\vec{c} \cdot \vec{a}$ at $x=x_{0}$ is:
