If $$a \ne 0$$ and the line $$2bx+3cy+4d=0$$ passes through the points of intersection of the parabolas $${y^2} = 4ax$$ and $${x^2} = 4ay$$, then :

Let $$\overrightarrow a ,\overrightarrow b $$ and $$\overrightarrow c $$ be non-zero vectors such that $$\left( {\overrightarrow a \times \overrightarrow b } \right) \times \overrightarrow c = {1 \over 3}\left| {\overrightarrow b } \right|\left| {\overrightarrow c } \right|\overrightarrow a \,\,.$$ If $$\theta $$ is the acute angle between the vectors $${\overrightarrow b }$$ and $${\overrightarrow c },$$ then $$sin\theta $$ equals :

A line with direction cosines proportional to $$2,1,2$$ meets each of the lines $$x=y+a=z$$ and $$x+a=2y=2z$$ . The co-ordinates of each of the points of intersection are given by :

If the straight lines
$$x=1+s,y=-3$$$$ - \lambda s,$$ $$z = 1 + \lambda s$$ and $$x = {t \over 2},y = 1 + t,z = 2 - t,$$ with parameters $$s$$ and $$t$$ respectively, are co-planar, then $$\lambda $$ equals :
