Let a and b be two unit vectors such that a . b = 0. For some x, y$$ \in $$R, let $$\overrightarrow c = x\overrightarrow a + y\overrightarrow b + \overrightarrow a \times \overrightarrow b $$. If | $$\overrightarrow c $$| = 2 and the vector c is inclined at the same angle $$\alpha $$ to both a and b, then the value of $$8{\cos ^2}\alpha $$ is ..............

Suppose that $$\overrightarrow p ,\overrightarrow q $$ and $$\overrightarrow r $$ are three non-coplanar vectors in $${R^3}$$. Let the components of a vector $$\overrightarrow s $$ along $$\overrightarrow p ,$$ $$\overrightarrow q $$ and $$\overrightarrow r $$ be $$4, 3$$ and $$5,$$ respectively. If the components of this vector $$\overrightarrow s $$ along $$\left( { - \overrightarrow p + \overrightarrow q + \overrightarrow r } \right),\left( {\overrightarrow p - \overrightarrow q + \overrightarrow r } \right)$$ and $$\left( { - \overrightarrow p - \overrightarrow q + \overrightarrow r } \right)$$ are $$x, y$$ and $$z,$$ respectively, then the value of $$2x+y+z$$ is

Let $$\overrightarrow a \,\,,\,\,\overrightarrow b $$ and $$\overrightarrow c $$ be three non-coplanar unit vectors such that the angle between every pair of them is $${\pi \over 3}.$$ If $$\overrightarrow a \times \overrightarrow b + \overrightarrow b \times \overrightarrow c = p\overrightarrow a + q\overrightarrow b + r\overrightarrow c ,$$ where $$p,q$$ and $$r$$ are scalars, then the value of $${{{p^2} + 2{q^2} + {r^2}} \over {{q^2}}}$$ is

If $$\overrightarrow a ,\overrightarrow b $$ and $$\overrightarrow c $$ are unit vectors satisfying
$${\left| {\overrightarrow a - \overrightarrow b } \right|^2} + {\left| {\overrightarrow b - \overrightarrow c } \right|^2} + {\left| {\overrightarrow c - \overrightarrow a } \right|^2} = 9,$$ then $$\left| {2\overrightarrow a + 5\overrightarrow b + 5\overrightarrow c } \right|$$ is
