Consider $\overrightarrow{r}, \overrightarrow{a}, \overrightarrow{b}$ and $\overrightarrow{c}$ are non-zero vectors such that $\overrightarrow{r} \cdot \overrightarrow{a}=0$,$|\overrightarrow{r} \times \overrightarrow{b}|=|\overrightarrow{r}||\overrightarrow{b}|$,and $|\overrightarrow{r} \times \overrightarrow{c}|=|\overrightarrow{r}||\overrightarrow{c}|$. Then,the scalar triple product $[\overrightarrow{a} \overrightarrow{b} \overrightarrow{c}]$ is:

What will be the volume of the parallelepiped whose coterminous edges are given by the vectors $a = i - j + k$,$b = i - 3j + 4k$,and $c = 2i - 5j + 3k$?

Let $\vec{a} = \hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k}$,$\vec{b} = \hat{i} - \hat{j} + 2\hat{k}$,and $\vec{c} = x\hat{i} + (x-2)\hat{j} - \hat{k}$. If the vector $\vec{c}$ lies in the plane of $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$,then $x$ equals:

If $\bar{a}=\hat{i}+5 \hat{k}, \bar{b}=2 \hat{i}+3 \hat{k}, \bar{c}=4 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+2 \hat{k}$ and $\bar{d}=\hat{i}-\hat{j}$,then $(\bar{c}-\bar{a}) \cdot(\bar{b} \times \bar{d})=$

The volume of a parallelepiped whose coterminous edges are $2 \overrightarrow{a}, 2 \overrightarrow{b}, 2 \overrightarrow{c}$ is:
