The edges of a parallelopiped are of unit length and are parallel to non-coplanar unit vectors

\hat{a}, \hat{b}, \hat{c}

such that

\hat{a} \cdot \hat{b}=\hat{b} \cdot \hat{c}=\hat{c} \cdot \hat{a}=1 / 2

. Then the volume of the parallelopiped in cubic units, is

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}

Option A (

\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}

) is correct because the volume of the parallelepiped can be calculated using the determinant of the dot products of the unit vectors.
