If $a, b, c$ are the position vectors of the points $A, B, C$ respectively,then match the items of List-$I$ with those of List-$II$.
List-$I$List-$II$
$A$. $a = 2\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} + 4\hat{k}, b = 3\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} + 2\hat{k}, c = 4\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}$$I$. $\triangle ABC$ is an equilateral triangle
$B$. $a = \hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}, b = 3\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} + 7\hat{k}, c = -3\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} - 5\hat{k}$$II$. $\triangle ABC$ is an isosceles triangle
$C$. $a = 2\hat{i} - \hat{j} + \hat{k}, b = \hat{i} - 3\hat{j} - 5\hat{k}, c = -3\hat{i} - 4\hat{j} - 4\hat{k}$$III$. $\triangle ABC$ is a right-angled triangle
$D$. $a = \hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k}, b = \hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}, c = 2\hat{i} - \hat{j} + \hat{k}$$IV$. $A, B, C$ are collinear

The correct match is:

If $\vec{a}+\vec{b}+\vec{c}=\overrightarrow{0}$,$|\vec{a}|=3$,$|\vec{b}|=5$,and $|\vec{c}|=7$,then the angle between $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$ is

If $\bar{a}, \bar{b}$ and $\bar{c}$ are vectors such that $|\bar{a}| = |\frac{\bar{b}}{2}| = |\frac{\bar{c}}{3}| = 1$; $\bar{b}$ and $\bar{c}$ are perpendicular; and the projections of $\bar{b}$ and $\bar{c}$ on $\bar{a}$ are equal,then $|\bar{a} - \bar{b} + \bar{c}| = $

If $\vec{a}, \vec{b}$ and $\vec{c}$ are vectors with magnitudes $2, 3$ and $4$ respectively,then the best upper bound of $|\vec{a}-\vec{b}|^2+|\vec{b}-\vec{c}|^2+|\vec{c}-\vec{a}|^2$ among the given values is
