Question:medium
Two adjacent sides of a parallelogram PQRS are given by \( \overrightarrow{PQ} = \hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k} \) and \( \overrightarrow{PS} = \hat{i} - \hat{j} \). If the side PS is rotated about the point P by an acute angle \( \alpha \) in the plane of the parallelogram so that it becomes perpendicular to the side PQ, then \( \sin^2 \left( \frac{5\alpha}{2} \right) - \sin^2 \left( \frac{\alpha}{2} \right) \) is equal to:

- Let the vectors \( \mathbf{a} = -\hat{i} + \hat{j} + 3\hat{k} \) and \( \mathbf{b} = \hat{i} + 3\hat{j} + \hat{k} \). For some \( \lambda, \mu \in \mathbb{R} \), let \( \mathbf{c} = \lambda \mathbf{a} + \mu \mathbf{b} \). If \( \mathbf{c} \cdot (3\hat{i} - 6\hat{j} + 2\hat{k}) = 10 \) and \( \mathbf{c} \cdot (\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k}) = -2 \), then \( |\mathbf{c}|^2 \) is equal to:
