For what value of $a$ is the volume of the parallelepiped formed by the vectors $i + aj + k$,$j + ak$,and $ai + k$ minimum?

If $\vec{a}, \vec{b}, \vec{c}$ are three non-coplanar vectors representing the coterminous edges of a parallelepiped of volume $4$ cubic units,then find the value of $(\vec{a} + \vec{b}) \cdot (\vec{b} \times \vec{c}) + (\vec{b} + \vec{c}) \cdot (\vec{c} \times \vec{a}) + (\vec{c} + \vec{a}) \cdot (\vec{a} \times \vec{b})$.

The volume of a parallelepiped whose coterminous edges are represented by the vectors $\overrightarrow{OA} = (2, 1, 1)$,$\overrightarrow{OB} = (3, -1, 1)$,and $\overrightarrow{OC} = (-1, 1, -1)$ is . . . . . . cubic units.

If the volume of a parallelepiped,whose coterminous edges are given by the vectors $\overrightarrow{a} = \hat{i} + \hat{j} + n\hat{k}$,$\overrightarrow{b} = 2\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} - n\hat{k}$,and $\overrightarrow{c} = \hat{i} + n\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}$ $(n \geq 0)$,is $158$ cubic units,then which of the following is true?

If the origin $O(0,0,0)$ and the points $P(2,3,4)$,$Q(1,2,3)$,and $R(x, y, z)$ are co-planar,then:

If $\vec{a}, \vec{b}$ and $\vec{c}$ are three non-coplanar vectors and $\vec{p}, \vec{q}$,and $\vec{r}$ are defined by $\vec{p}=\frac{\vec{b} \times \vec{c}}{[\vec{a} \vec{b} \vec{c}]}, \vec{q}=\frac{\vec{c} \times \vec{a}}{[\vec{a} \vec{b} \vec{c}]}, \vec{r}=\frac{\vec{a} \times \vec{b}}{[\vec{a} \vec{b} \vec{c}]}$,then find the value of $(\vec{a}+\vec{b}) \cdot \vec{p} + (\vec{b}+\vec{c}) \cdot \vec{q} + (\vec{c}+\vec{a}) \cdot \vec{r}$.
