Application +4 | -1

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

are three non-coplanar vectors represented by non-current edges of a parallelopiped of volume 4 units, then the value of

(\vec a + \vec b) \cdot (\vec b \times \vec c) + (\vec b + \vec c) \cdot (\vec c \times \vec a) + (\vec c + \vec a) \cdot (\vec a \times \vec b){\text{, is }}

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

\pm 12

Option C (

\pm 12

) is correct because the expression simplifies to three times the scalar triple product, which is related to the volume of the parallelepiped.
