If $$\overrightarrow a \,,\,\overrightarrow b ,\overrightarrow c $$ are three non-zero, non-coplanar vectors and
$$\overrightarrow {{b_1}} = \overrightarrow b - {{\overrightarrow b .\,\overrightarrow a } \over {{{\left| {\overrightarrow a } \right|}^2}}}\overrightarrow a ,\overrightarrow {{b_2}} = \overrightarrow b + {{\overrightarrow b .\,\overrightarrow a } \over {{{\left| {\overrightarrow a } \right|}^2}}}\overrightarrow a ,$$
$$\overrightarrow {{c_1}} = \overrightarrow c - {{\overrightarrow c .\,\overrightarrow a } \over {{{\left| {\overrightarrow a } \right|}^2}}}\overrightarrow a + {{\overrightarrow b .\,\overrightarrow c } \over {{{\left| c \right|}^2}}}{\overrightarrow b _1},\,\,\overrightarrow {{c_2}} = \overrightarrow c - {{\overrightarrow c .\,\overrightarrow a } \over {{{\left| {\overrightarrow a } \right|}^2}}}\overrightarrow a - {{\overrightarrow b \,.\,\overrightarrow c } \over {{{\left| {{{\overrightarrow b }_1}} \right|}^2}}}{\overrightarrow b _1},$$
$$\overrightarrow {{c_3}} = \overrightarrow c - {{\overrightarrow c .\,\overrightarrow a } \over {{{\left| {\overrightarrow c } \right|}^2}}}\overrightarrow a + {{\overrightarrow b .\,\overrightarrow c } \over {{{\left| c \right|}^2}}}{\overrightarrow b _1},\,\,\overrightarrow {{c_4}} = \overrightarrow c - {{\overrightarrow c .\,\overrightarrow a } \over {{{\left| {\overrightarrow c } \right|}^2}}}\overrightarrow a - {{\overrightarrow b \,.\,\overrightarrow c } \over {{{\left| {{{\overrightarrow b }_1}} \right|}^2}}}{\overrightarrow b _1},$$
then the set of orthogonal vectors is

A variable plane at a distance of the one unit from the origin cuts the coordinates axes at $$A,$$ $$B$$ and $$C.$$ If the centroid $$D$$ $$(x, y, z)$$ of triangle $$ABC$$ satisfies the relation $${1 \over {{x^2}}} + {1 \over {{y^2}}} + {1 \over {{z^2}}} = k,$$ then the value $$k$$ is
