The edges of a parallelepiped are of unit length and are parallel to non-coplanar unit vectors $\hat{a}, \hat{b}, \hat{c}$ such that $\hat{a} \cdot \hat{b} = \hat{b} \cdot \hat{c} = \hat{c} \cdot \hat{a} = 1/2$. Then the volume of the parallelepiped is

  • A
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}}$
  • C
    $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

Assertion $(A):$ The three vectors do not form a triangle.
Reason $(R):$ The three vectors are non-coplanar.
The correct option among the following is:

Let $\vec{a}=2 \hat{i}+7 \hat{j}-\hat{k}, \vec{b}=3 \hat{i}+5 \hat{k}$ and $\vec{c}=\hat{i}-\hat{j}+2 \hat{k}$.
