a

If  λ  is maximum then the volume of parallelepiped determined by  a¯×b¯,  2b¯×c¯  and  c¯×a¯ is 2.

b

If  λ  is maximum then the value of  |(2a+3b+4c)  .  (a×b+5b×c+6c×a)|  is 32

c

If  λ  is maximum then the volume of parallelepiped determined by  a,b  and  c  is  3
 

d

The maximum value of  λ  is 0

answer is A, C, D.

 (a×b).(b×c)=(b.c)(a.b)a.c
 (b×c).(c×a)=(a.c)(b.c)a.b
 (c×a).(a×b)=(a.b)(a.c)b.c
Given that
 |a+b+c|=3(a+b+c).(a+b+c)=3a.b+b.c+c.a=0
 λ=(a.b).(b.c)+(b.c)(c.a)+(c.a)(a.b)a.bb.cc.a
 λ=(a.b).(b.c)+(b.c)(c.a)+(c.a)(a.b)
λ0  [since, x + y + z = 0, xy + yz + zx    0]
 λmax = 0 only when  a.b=b.c=a.c=0
  ab,bc and  ca
 (2a+3b+4c).(a×b+5b×c+6c×a)
10a.(b×c)+18b.(c×a)+4c.(a×b)=32
