If the vectors $2i - 3j + 4k$, $i + 2j - k$ and $xi - j + 2k$ are coplanar, then $x = $

Let $a, b, c$ be three distinct real numbers,none equal to $1$. If the vectors $a \hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}$,$\hat{i}+b \hat{j}+\hat{k}$ and $\hat{i}+\hat{j}+ c \hat{k}$ are coplanar,then $\frac{1}{1-a}+\frac{1}{1-b}+\frac{1}{1-c}$ is equal to

If $x$ is parallel to $y$ and $z$ where $x = 2i + j + \alpha k$,$y = \alpha i + k$ and $z = 5i - j$,then $\alpha$ is equal to

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

$(a+b) \cdot(b+c) \times(a+b+c)$ is equal to

If $\vec{a}, \vec{b}, \vec{c}$ are non-coplanar vectors,then $\frac{\vec{a} \cdot (\vec{b} \times \vec{c})}{\vec{c} \cdot (\vec{a} \times \vec{b})} + \frac{\vec{b} \cdot (\vec{a} \times \vec{c})}{\vec{c} \cdot (\vec{a} \times \vec{b})} = \dots$
