Let $$\alpha ,\beta ,\gamma $$ be distinct real numbers. The points with position
vectors $$\alpha \widehat i + \beta \widehat j + \gamma \widehat k,\,\,\beta \widehat i + \gamma \widehat j + \alpha \widehat k,\,\,\gamma \widehat i + \alpha \widehat j + \beta \widehat k$$

Let $$\overrightarrow p $$ and $$\overrightarrow q $$ be the position vectors of $$P$$ and $$Q$$ respectively, with respect to $$O$$ and $$\left| {\overrightarrow p } \right| = p,\left| {\overrightarrow q } \right| = q.$$ The points $$R$$ and $$S$$ divide $$PQ$$ internally and externally in the ratio $$2:3$$ respectively. If $$OR$$ and $$OS$$ are perpendicular then

The points with position vectors $$60i+3j,$$ $$40i-8j,$$ $$ai-52j$$ are collinear if

The volume of the parallelopiped whose sides are given by
$$\overrightarrow {OA} = 2i - 2j,\,\overrightarrow {OB} = i + j - k,\,\overrightarrow {OC} = 3i - k,$$ is
