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

If W₁, W₂ and W₃ represent the work done in moving a particle from A to B along three different paths 1, 2 and 3 respectively (as shown) in the gravitational field of a point mass m, find the correct relation between W₁, W₂ and W₃.
