Let  $$\overrightarrow a = \widehat i + 2\widehat j + 4\widehat k,$$ $$\overrightarrow b = \widehat i + \lambda \widehat j + 4\widehat k$$ and $$\overrightarrow c = 2\widehat i + 4\widehat j + \left( {{\lambda ^2} - 1} \right)\widehat k$$ be coplanar vectors. Then the non-zero vector $$\overrightarrow a \times \overrightarrow c $$ is :

Let $${\left( { - 2 - {1 \over 3}i} \right)^3} = {{x + iy} \over {27}}\left( {i = \sqrt { - 1} } \right),\,\,$$ where x and y are real numbers, then y $$-$$ x equals :

A slab is subjected to two forces $$\overrightarrow {{F_1}} $$ and $$\overrightarrow {{F_2}} $$ of same magnitude F as shown in the figure. Force $$\overrightarrow {{F_2}} $$ is in XY-plane while force $$\overrightarrow {{F_1}} $$ acts along z = axis at the point $$\left( {2\overrightarrow i + 3\overrightarrow j } \right).$$. The moment of these forces about point O will be :

In a Wheatstone bridge(see fig.), Resistances P and Q are approximately equal. When R = 400 $$\Omega $$, the bridge is balanced. On interchanging P and Q, the value of R, for balance, is 405 $$\Omega $$. The value of X is close to :
