$A$ unit vector $\vec{e} = a \hat{i} + b \hat{j} + c \hat{k}$ is coplanar with the vectors $\hat{i} - 3 \hat{j} + 5 \hat{k}$ and $3 \hat{i} + \hat{j} - 5 \hat{k}$. If $\vec{e}$ is perpendicular to the vector $\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k}$,then $2 a^2 + 3 b^2 + 4 c^2 =$

Consider the vectors $\vec{x}=\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+3\hat{k}$,$\vec{y}=2\hat{i}+3\hat{j}+\hat{k}$,and $\vec{z}=3\hat{i}+\hat{j}+2\hat{k}$. For two distinct positive real numbers $\alpha$ and $\beta$,define $\vec{X}=\alpha\vec{x}+\beta\vec{y}-\vec{z}$,$\vec{Y}=\alpha\vec{y}+\beta\vec{z}-\vec{x}$,and $\vec{Z}=\alpha\vec{z}+\beta\vec{x}-\vec{y}$. If the vectors $\vec{X}, \vec{Y}$,and $\vec{Z}$ lie in a plane,the value of $\alpha+\beta-3$ is $....$.

If $\bar{a}$ is perpendicular to $\bar{b}$ and $\bar{c}$,$|\vec{a}|=2$,$|\bar{b}|=3$,$|\bar{c}|=4$ and the angle between $\bar{b}$ and $\bar{c}$ is $\frac{\pi}{3}$,then $\left[\begin{array}{lll}\bar{a} & \bar{b} & \bar{c}\end{array}\right]=$ (in $\sqrt{3}$)

For non-zero vectors $\vec{a}, \vec{b}, \vec{c}$,the condition $|(\vec{a} \times \vec{b}) \cdot \vec{c}| = |\vec{a}||\vec{b}||\vec{c}|$ holds if and only if:
