Let the vectors

\vec{a}, \vec{b}, \vec{c}

represent three coterminous edges of a parallelopiped of volume

\text{V}

. Then the volume of the parallelopiped, whose coterminous edges are represented by

\vec{a}, \vec{b}+\vec{c}

and

\vec{a}+2 \vec{b}+3 \vec{c}

is equal to

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

\text{V}

Option C (V) is correct because the volume of the parallelepiped is given by the scalar triple product, which simplifies to V after expansion.
