In subparts (i) and (ii) choose the correct options and in subparts (iii) to (v), answer the questions as instructed.
(i)[1.0]
Consider the following statements and choose the correct option:
Statement 1: If $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$ represents two adjacent sides of a parallelogram then the diagonals are represented by $\vec{a}+\vec{b}$ and $\vec{a}-\vec{b}$.
Statement 2: If $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$ represents two diagonals of a parallelogram then the adjacent sides are represented by $2(\vec{a}+\vec{b})$ and $2(\vec{a}-\vec{b})$.
Which of the following is correct? (Recall)
(a)Statement 1 is true and Statement 2 is false.
(b)Statement 2 is true and Statement 1 is false.
(c)Both the statements are true.
(d)Both the statements are false.

A plane passes through three points A, B and C with position vectors $\hat{i} + \hat{j}$, $\hat{j} + \hat{k}$ and $\hat{k} + \hat{i}$ respectively. The equation of the line passing through the point P with position vector $\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 2\hat{k}$ and normal to the plane is (Application)
If the direction cosines of a line are $\left\langle \frac{1}{c}, \frac{1}{c}, \frac{1}{c} \right\rangle$ then (Understanding)
(a)$c > 0$
(b)$0 < c < 1$
(c)$c = \pm\sqrt{3}$
(d)$c > 2$
