The unit vector perpendicular to each of the vectors $\vec{a}+\vec{b}$ and $\vec{a}-\vec{b}$, where $\vec{a}=\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}$ and $\vec{b}=\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}$, is :

If $\vec{a}$ is a unit vector and $(\vec{x} - \vec{a}) \cdot (\vec{x} + \vec{a}) = 8$ then $|\vec{x}|$ is

Which of the following statements are correct?

(A) If $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$ represent the adjacent sides of a triangle, then its area is $\frac{1}{2}|\vec{a} \times \vec{b}|$

(B) If $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$ represent the adjacent sides of a parallelogram, then its area is $|\vec{a} \times \vec{b}|$

(C) $|\vec{a} \times \vec{b}| = |\vec{a}| |\vec{b}| \cos\theta$

(D) If $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$ represent the 'diagonals' of a parallelogram, then its area is $\frac{1}{2}|\vec{a} \times \vec{b}|$
