Clearly a.c=0 and b.c=0 

Also a.b=0(a)

a×b=c

Dot with bb.c=0; similarly b×c=a

Dot with a=i^;b=j^  and  c=k^

Dot with ca.c=0a.b=b.c=c.a=0

Again |a||b||b||c|=|c||a||a||c|=|c||a||a|=|c|  and  |b|=1a×b.c=|a||b||c|=|a|2=|c|2

(Children will assume a=i^;b=j^  and  c=k^ but in this case all the four will be correct which will be wrong)
