Question:medium

Let vectors $\mathbf{a}, \mathbf{b}, \mathbf{c}$ be such that $$ \mathbf{a} = \hat{i} + 2\hat{j} - \hat{k}, \quad \mathbf{b} = 2\hat{i} - \hat{j} + \hat{k}, \quad \mathbf{c} = \hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k} $$ Then the volume of the parallelepiped formed by these vectors is:

Show Hint

The volume of a parallelepiped is found using the scalar triple product: \[ V = | \mathbf{a} \cdot (\mathbf{b} \times \mathbf{c}) | \] Ensure correct determinant calculation and sign handling.
