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:
$(\vec{a}+2 \vec{b}) \times \vec{c}=3(\vec{c} \times \vec{a})$
$\begin{aligned} \Rightarrow \quad & \vec{b} \times \vec{c}+2(\vec{a} \times \vec{c})=0 \\ & (\vec{b}+2 \vec{a}) \times \vec{c}=0 \\ & \vec{c}=\lambda(\vec{b}+2 \vec{a}) \\ & \vec{c} \cdot \vec{a}=130 \Rightarrow \lambda=1 \\ & \vec{c}=4 \hat{i}-7 \hat{j}+15 \hat{k} \\ & \vec{b} . \vec{c}=30 \end{aligned}$
$ \begin{aligned} & \quad=\mathbf{a}(\mathbf{c}-\mathbf{b}) \\ & (\mathbf{x}-\mathbf{a}) \cdot(\mathbf{c}-\mathbf{b})=0 \\ & \quad \mathbf{A P} \cdot \mathbf{B C}=0 \\ & \quad \mathbf{A P} \perp \mathbf{B C} \\ & \text { and } \mathbf{x} \cdot(\mathbf{a}-\mathbf{c})=\mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{b}-\mathbf{b} \cdot \mathbf{c}=(\mathbf{a}-\mathbf{c}) \mathbf{b} \\ & \Rightarrow(\mathbf{x}-\mathbf{b}) \cdot(\mathbf{a}-\mathbf{c})=0 \\ & \quad \mathbf{B P} \cdot \mathbf{A C}=0 \\ & \therefore \quad \mathbf{B P} \perp \mathbf{A C} \end{aligned} $
