If the lines $${{x - 1} \over 2} = {{y + 1} \over 3} = {{z - 1} \over 4}$$ and $$\,{{x - 3} \over 1} = {{y - k} \over 2} = {z \over 1}$$ intersect, then the value of $$k$$ is

The unit vector which is orthogonal to the vector $$3\overrightarrow i + 2\overrightarrow j + 6\overrightarrow k $$ and is coplanar with the vectors $$\,2\widehat i + \widehat j + \widehat k$$ and $$\,\widehat i - \widehat j + \widehat k$$$$\,\,\,$$ is

The value of $$k$$ such that $${{x - 4} \over 1} = {{y - 2} \over 1} = {{z - k} \over 2}$$ lies in the plane $$2x -4y +z = 7,$$ is

The value of $$'a'$$ so that the volume of parallelopiped formed by $$\widehat i + a\widehat j + \widehat k,\widehat j + a\widehat k$$ and $$a\widehat i + \widehat k$$ becomes minimum is
