Let $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{c}}$ be the vector such that $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{c}}=\overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}}$ and $\vec{a} \cdot \vec{c}=3$.

Let $\vec{a}=9 \hat{i}-13 \hat{j}+25 \hat{k}, \vec{b}=3 \hat{i}+7 \hat{j}-13 \hat{k}$ and $\vec{c}=17 \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+\hat{k}$ be three given vectors. If $\vec{r}$ is a vector such that $\vec{r} \times \vec{a}=(\vec{b}+\vec{c}) \times \vec{a}$ and $\vec{r} \cdot(\vec{b}-\vec{c})=0$, then $\frac{|593 \vec{r}+67 \vec{a}|^2}{(593)^2}$ is equal to __________.
Explanation:
$\begin{aligned} & \vec{a}=9 \hat{i}-13 \hat{j}+25 \hat{k} \\ & \vec{b}=3 \hat{i}+7 \hat{j}-13 \hat{k} \\ & \vec{c}=17 \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+\hat{k} \\ & \vec{r} \times \vec{a}=(\vec{b}+\vec{c}) \times \vec{a} \\ & (\vec{r}-(\vec{b}+\vec{c})) \times \vec{a}=0 \\ & \Rightarrow \vec{r}=(\vec{b}+\vec{c})+\lambda \vec{a} \\ & \vec{r}=(20 \hat{i}+5 \hat{j}-12 \hat{k})+\lambda(9 \hat{i}-13 \hat{j}+25 \hat{k}) \\ & =(20+9 \lambda) \hat{i}+(5-13 \lambda) \hat{j}+(25 \lambda-12) \hat{k} \end{aligned}$
Now $\vec{r} \cdot(\vec{b}-\vec{c})=0$
$\vec{r} \cdot(-14 \hat{i}+9 \hat{j}-14 \hat{k})=0$
Now
$\begin{aligned} & -14(20+9 \lambda)+9(5-13 \lambda)-14(25 \lambda-12)=0 \\ & -593 \lambda-67=0 \\ & \lambda=-\frac{67}{593} \\ & \therefore \vec{r}=(\vec{b}+\vec{c})-\frac{67}{593} \vec{a} \\ & \frac{|593 \vec{r}+67 \vec{a}|^2}{|593|^2}=|\vec{b}+\vec{c}|^2=|20 \hat{i}+5 \hat{j}-12 \hat{k}|^2 \\ & =569 \end{aligned}$

Explanation:
Let $\hat{i}+8 \hat{j}+13 \hat{k}=\vec{u}$
Given $\vec{a} \times(\vec{b}+\vec{c})+\vec{b} \times \vec{c}=\vec{u}$
$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow \quad \vec{a} \times \vec{b}+\vec{a} \times \vec{c}+\vec{b} \times \vec{c}=\vec{u} \\ (\vec{a}+\vec{b}) \times c=\vec{u}-\vec{a} \times \vec{b} \end{gathered}$
Taking cross product with $\vec{a}$ on both sides
$\vec{a} \times((\vec{a}+\vec{b}) \times \vec{c})=\vec{a} \times(\vec{u}-\vec{a} \times \vec{b})$
$\Rightarrow \quad \vec{c} \cdot\left(\vec{a}^2+\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}\right)=13(\vec{a}+\vec{b})-\vec{a} \times \vec{u} +(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}) \cdot \vec{a}-\vec{a}^2 \vec{b}\quad$ $\{\because \vec{a} . \vec{c}=13\}$
Putting the values, $\vec{c}=(-1,-1,3)$
$\vec{b}.\vec{c}=-22$
$\Rightarrow 24-\vec{b} \cdot \vec{c}=46$
Let $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}=\hat{i}-3 \hat{j}+7 \hat{k}, \overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}}=2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+\hat{k}$ and $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{c}}$ be a vector such that $(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}+2 \overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}}) \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{c}}=3(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{c}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}})$. If $\vec{a} \cdot \vec{c}=130$, then $\vec{b} \cdot \vec{c}$ is equal to __________.
Explanation:
$(\vec{a}+2 \vec{b}) \times \vec{c}=3(\vec{c} \times \vec{a})$
$\begin{aligned} \Rightarrow \quad & \vec{b} \times \vec{c}+2(\vec{a} \times \vec{c})=0 \\ & (\vec{b}+2 \vec{a}) \times \vec{c}=0 \\ & \vec{c}=\lambda(\vec{b}+2 \vec{a}) \\ & \vec{c} \cdot \vec{a}=130 \Rightarrow \lambda=1 \\ & \vec{c}=4 \hat{i}-7 \hat{j}+15 \hat{k} \\ & \vec{b} . \vec{c}=30 \end{aligned}$
Let $\mathrm{ABC}$ be a triangle of area $15 \sqrt{2}$ and the vectors $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{AB}}=\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-7 \hat{k}, \overrightarrow{\mathrm{BC}}=\mathrm{a} \hat{i}+\mathrm{b} \hat{j}+\mathrm{c} \hat{k}$ and $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{AC}}=6 \hat{i}+\mathrm{d} \hat{j}-2 \hat{k}, \mathrm{~d}>0$. Then the square of the length of the largest side of the triangle $\mathrm{ABC}$ is _________.
Explanation:
Area of triangle $A B C=15 \sqrt{2}$
$\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}|\overline{A B} \times \overline{A C}|=15 \sqrt{2} \quad \text{.... (i)}\\ & \quad \overline{A B} \times \overline{A C}\left|\begin{array}{ccc} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\ 1 & 2 & -7 \\ 6 & d & -2 \end{array}\right| \\ & =(7 d-4) \hat{i}-40 \hat{j}+(d-12) \hat{k} \quad \text{... (ii)} \end{aligned}$
From (i) and (ii) $5 d^2-8 d-4=0$
$\Rightarrow d=\frac{-}{5}$ (Rejected) or $d=2$
Also, $\overline{A B}+\overline{B C}=\overline{A C}$
$\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow a+1=6 \Rightarrow a=5 \\ & b+2=d \Rightarrow b=0 \end{aligned}$
and $c-7=-2 \Rightarrow c=5$
$|\overline{A B}|=\sqrt{54},|\overline{A C}|=\sqrt{44},|\overline{B C}|=\sqrt{50}$
Largest side has length of $\sqrt{54}$ units
Explanation:
$\begin{aligned} & -\hat{\mathrm{i}}-8 \hat{\mathrm{j}}+2 \mathrm{k}=\left(4 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+\mathrm{c}_2 \hat{\mathrm{j}}+\mathrm{c}_3 \mathrm{k}\right)+\lambda(\hat{\mathrm{i}}+\hat{\mathrm{j}}+\mathrm{k}) \\\\ & \lambda+4=-1 \Rightarrow \lambda=-5 \\\\ & \lambda+\mathrm{c}_2=-8 \Rightarrow \mathrm{c}_2=-3 \\\\ & \lambda+\mathrm{c}_3=2 \Rightarrow \mathrm{c}_3=7 \\\\ & \overrightarrow{\mathrm{c}}=4 \hat{\mathrm{i}}-3 \hat{\mathrm{j}}+7 \mathrm{k}\end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} & \cos \theta=\frac{12-12+7}{\sqrt{26} \cdot \sqrt{74}}=\frac{7}{\sqrt{26} \cdot \sqrt{74}}=\frac{7}{2 \sqrt{481}} \\\\ & \tan ^2 \theta=\frac{625 \times 3}{49} \\\\ & {\left[\tan ^2 \theta\right]=38}\end{aligned}$

Explanation:
$\begin{aligned} & (\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}+\overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}}) \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{c}}=2(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}})+24 \hat{\mathrm{j}}-6 \hat{\mathrm{k}} \\ & (5 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+\hat{\mathrm{j}}+4 \hat{\mathrm{k}}) \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{c}}=2(7 \hat{\mathrm{i}}-7 \hat{\mathrm{j}}-7 \hat{\mathrm{k}})+24 \hat{\mathrm{j}}-6 \hat{\mathrm{k}} \\ & \left|\begin{array}{lrr} \hat{\mathrm{i}} & \hat{\mathrm{j}} & \hat{\mathrm{k}} \\ 5 & 1 & 4 \\ x & y & \mathrm{z} \end{array}\right|=14 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+10 \hat{\mathrm{j}}-20 \hat{\mathrm{k}} \\ & \Rightarrow \hat{\mathrm{i}}(\mathrm{z}-4 \mathrm{y})-\hat{\mathrm{j}}(5 \mathrm{z}-4 \mathrm{x})+\hat{\mathrm{k}}(5 \mathrm{y}-\mathrm{x})=14 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+10 \hat{\mathrm{j}}-20 \hat{\mathrm{k}} \\ & \mathrm{z}-4 \mathrm{y}=14,4 \mathrm{x}-5 \mathrm{z}=10,5 \mathrm{y}-\mathrm{x}=-20 \\ & (\mathrm{a}-\mathrm{b}+\mathrm{i}) \cdot \overrightarrow{\mathrm{c}}=-3 \\ & (2 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+3 \hat{\mathrm{j}}-2 \hat{\mathrm{k}}) \cdot \overrightarrow{\mathrm{c}}=-3 \\ & 2 x+3 y-2 z=-3 \\ & \therefore x=5, y=-3, z=2 \\ & |\overrightarrow{\mathrm{c}}|^2=25+9+4=38 \end{aligned}$

Explanation:
$\begin{aligned} & \cos \theta=\frac{(\alpha \hat{\mathrm{i}}-2 \hat{\mathrm{j}}+2 \hat{\mathrm{k}}) \cdot(\alpha \hat{\mathrm{i}}+2 \alpha \hat{\mathrm{j}}-2 \hat{\mathrm{k}})}{\sqrt{\alpha^2+4+4} \sqrt{\alpha^2+4 \alpha^2+4}} \\ & \cos \theta=\frac{\alpha^2-4 \alpha-4}{\sqrt{\alpha^2+8} \sqrt{5 \alpha^2+4}} \\ & \Rightarrow \alpha^2-4 \alpha-4>0 \quad \Rightarrow(\alpha-2)^2>8 \\ & \Rightarrow \alpha^2-4 \alpha+4>8 \quad \alpha-2<-2 \sqrt{2} \\ & \Rightarrow \alpha-2>2 \sqrt{2} \text { or } \alpha-2<2 \sqrt{2} \\ & \alpha>2+2 \sqrt{2} \text { or } \alpha<2-2 \sqrt{2} \\ & \alpha \in(-\infty,-0.82) \cup(4.82, \infty) \end{aligned}$
