Let $$\overrightarrow a $$, $$\overrightarrow b $$ and $$\overrightarrow c $$ be three non zero vectors such that $$\overrightarrow b $$ . $$\overrightarrow c $$ = 0 and $$\overrightarrow a \times (\overrightarrow b \times \overrightarrow c ) = {{\overrightarrow b - \overrightarrow c } \over 2}$$. If $$\overrightarrow d $$ be a vector such that $$\overrightarrow b \,.\,\overrightarrow d = \overrightarrow a \,.\,\overrightarrow b $$, then $$(\overrightarrow a \times \overrightarrow b )\,.\,(\overrightarrow c \times \overrightarrow d )$$ is equal to

Let $$\overrightarrow \alpha = 4\widehat i + 3\widehat j + 5\widehat k$$ and $$\overrightarrow \beta = \widehat i + 2\widehat j - 4\widehat k$$. Let $${\overrightarrow \beta _1}$$ be parallel to $$\overrightarrow \alpha $$ and $${\overrightarrow \beta _2}$$ be perpendicular to $$\overrightarrow \alpha $$. If $$\overrightarrow \beta = {\overrightarrow \beta _1} + {\overrightarrow \beta _2}$$, then the value of $$5{\overrightarrow \beta _2}\,.\left( {\widehat i + \widehat j + \widehat k} \right)$$ is :

Let PQR be a triangle. The points A, B and C are on the sides QR, RP and PQ respectively such that

$${{QA} \over {AR}} = {{RB} \over {BP}} = {{PC} \over {CQ}} = {1 \over 2}$$. Then $${{Area(\Delta PQR)} \over {Area(\Delta ABC)}}$$ is equal to :

Let $$\overrightarrow u = \widehat i - \widehat j - 2\widehat k,\overrightarrow v = 2\widehat i + \widehat j - \widehat k,\overrightarrow v .\,\overrightarrow w = 2$$ and $$\overrightarrow v \times \overrightarrow w = \overrightarrow u + \lambda \overrightarrow v $$. Then $$\overrightarrow u .\,\overrightarrow w $$ is equal to :
