a

if angle between a,band θ, then angle between cand plane of a and b is (900θ)

b

VS=|cosα|21|a|+1|b|+1|c|1

c

a,b and care equally inclined to each other

d

Vmax=|a||b||c|

answer is A, B.

Detailed Solution

V=|a(b×c)|=|a||b×c||cosα|

Similarly,V=|b||c×a||cosα|

V=|c||a×b||cosα|

WhileS=2(|a×b|+|b×c|+|c×a|)

=2V|c||cosα|+V|a||cosα|+V|b||cosα|

VS=|cosα|21|a|+1|b|+1|c|-1

Now,  V=|a(b×c)|=|a||b×c||cosα|

=|a||b||c|sin(b,c)|cosα|a||b||c

Also, sin(a,b)=sin(b,c)=sin(c,a)

So, it not necessary that they are equally inclined.
