Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(C)
Volume of parallelepiped \(=[\bar{a} \bar{b} \bar{c}]=12\)
\(\left[\begin{array}{lll}\bar{a} & \bar{b} & \bar{c}\end{array}\right]=12\ldots(1)\)
volume of tetrahedrom
\(=\frac{1}{6}\left[\begin{array}{lll}
\bar{a}+\bar{b} & \bar{b}+\bar{c} & \bar{c}+\bar{a}
\end{array}\right]\)
\(=\frac{1}{6}(\bar{a}+\bar{b}) \cdot[(\bar{b}+\bar{c}) \times(\bar{c}+\bar{a})]=\frac{1}{6}(\bar{a}+\bar{b}) \cdot[(\bar{b} \times \bar{c})+(\bar{b} \times \bar{a})~+\) \((\bar{c} \times \bar{c})+(\bar{c} \times \bar{a})]\)
\(=\frac{1}{6}\{\bar{a} \cdot(\bar{b} \times \bar{c})+\bar{a}(\bar{b} \times \bar{a})+\bar{a}(\bar{c} \times \bar{a})+\bar{b} \cdot(\bar{b} \times \bar{c})+\bar{b} \cdot(\bar{b} \times \bar{a})~+\) \(\bar{b}(\bar{c} \times \bar{a})\} \quad \ldots[\because \bar{c} \times \bar{c}=0]\)
\(=\frac{1}{6}[\bar{a} \cdot(\bar{b} \times \bar{c})+0+\bar{b} \cdot(\bar{c} \times \bar{a})]=\frac{1}{6}\{[\bar{a} \bar{b} \bar{c}]+[\bar{a} \bar{b} \bar{c}]\}\)
\(=\frac{2}{6}[\bar{a} \bar{b} \bar{c}]=\frac{1}{3}(12)=4\)
