1. **Circumcenter $ P $**: <br/><br/>The circumcenter of a triangle is equidistant from the vertices of the triangle. It is the center of the circumcircle, the circle that passes through all three vertices of the triangle. <br/><br/>2. **Orthocenter $ Q $**: <br/><br/>The orthocenter of a triangle is the point of intersection of its three altitudes. An altitude of a triangle is a perpendicular line segment drawn from a vertex to its opposite side (or its extension). <br/><br/>3. **Centroid $ G $**: <br/><br/>The centroid of a triangle is the point of intersection of its medians. A median of a triangle is a line segment joining a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. The centroid always divides each median in a 2:1 ratio, with the larger segment being closer to the vertex. <br/><br/>With the above definitions, it's known that the centroid divides the line segment joining the circumcenter and orthocenter in the ratio 2 : 1, meaning : <br/><br/>$ \overrightarrow{PG} = \frac{2}{3} \overrightarrow{PQ} $ <br/><br/>$ \overrightarrow{PQ} = 3\overrightarrow{PG} $ <p>The position vector of the centroid $G$ in terms of the vertices $A, B,$ and $C$ is : <br/><br/>$ \overrightarrow{G} = \frac{\overrightarrow{A} + \overrightarrow{B} + \overrightarrow{C}}{3} $</p> <p>Because $P$ is the circumcenter and is at the origin in this problem: <br/><br/>$ \overrightarrow{PA} = \overrightarrow{A} $ <br/><br/>$ \overrightarrow{PB} = \overrightarrow{B} $ <br/><br/>$ \overrightarrow{PC} = \overrightarrow{C} $</p> <p>Substituting these into the equation for $G$ : <br/><br/>$ \overrightarrow{PG} = \frac{\overrightarrow{PA} + \overrightarrow{PB} + \overrightarrow{PC}}{3} $</p> <p>Now, using the relationship between $PQ$ and $PG$ established earlier : <br/><br/>$ \overrightarrow{PQ} = 3\overrightarrow{PG} = \overrightarrow{PA} + \overrightarrow{PB} + \overrightarrow{PC} $</p>

Step 1: Given condition for coplanarity <br/><br/>For three vectors to be coplanar, their scalar triple product must be zero. We have the vectors A, B, and C, and we know the given relation between λ and μ: <br/><br/>$$A = \lambda \hat{i} - \hat{j} + \hat{k}$$ <br/><br/>$$B = \hat{i} + 2 \hat{j} + \mu \hat{k}$$ <br/><br/>$$C = 3 \hat{i} - 4 \hat{j} + 5 \hat{k}$$ <br/><br/>Scalar triple product condition: <br/><br/>$$[A, B, C] = A \cdot (B \times C) = 0$$ <br/><br/>Step 2: Calculate the cross product of B and C <br/><br/>$$B \times C = \begin{vmatrix} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\ 1 & 2 & \mu \\ 3 & -4 & 5 \\ \end{vmatrix}$$ <br/><br/>$$B \times C = (10 + 4 \mu) \hat{i} - (5 - 3 \mu) \hat{j} - 10 \hat{k}$$ <br/><br/>Step 3: Calculate the scalar triple product and apply the coplanarity condition <br/><br/>$$[A, B, C] = A \cdot (B \times C) = \lambda(10 + 4 \mu) - 1(5 - 3 \mu) + 1(-10) = 0$$ <br/><br/>Step 4: Substitute the given relation between λ and μ Given that: <br/><br/>$$\lambda - \mu = 5$$ <br/><br/>From the coplanarity condition, we have: <br/><br/>$$4 \lambda \mu + 10 \lambda - 3 \mu = 5$$ <br/><br/>Now, substitute λ in terms of μ: <br/><br/>$$4(5 + \mu) \mu + 10(5 + \mu) - 3 \mu = 5$$ <br/><br/>Step 5: Solve for μ and λ <br/><br/>Simplify the equation and solve for μ: <br/><br/>$$4 \mu^2 + 27 \mu + 45 = 0$$ <br/><br/>Factor the equation: <br/><br/>$$(4 \mu + 15)(\mu + 3) = 0$$ <br/><br/>So, the two possible values for μ are: <br/><br/>$$\mu = -3, \frac{-15}{4}$$ <br/><br/>For each value of μ, find the corresponding value of λ using the given relation: <br/><br/>$$\lambda = \mu + 5$$ <br/><br/>So, we get the values for λ: <br/><br/>$$\lambda = 2, \frac{5}{4}$$ <br/><br/>Step 6: Calculate the sum <br/><br/>Now, we need to find the sum: <br/><br/>$$\sum\limits_{(\lambda, \mu) \in S} 80\left(\lambda^2 + \mu^2\right)$$ <br/><br/>Substitute the values of λ and μ, and simplify: <br/><br/>$$80\left[(2^2 + (-3)^2) + \left(\frac{5}{4}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{-15}{4}\right)^2\right] = 80\left[13 + \frac{25}{16} + \frac{225}{16}\right]$$ <br/><br/>$$= 80\left[13 + \frac{250}{16}\right] = 10 \times 229$$ <br/><br/>$$= 2290$$ <br/><br/>So, the correct answer is 2290 (Option D).

Let $$\vec{c}$$ be a vector such that $$(\vec{a}+\vec{b}+\vec{c}) \times \vec{c}=\overrightarrow{0}, \vec{a} \cdot \vec{c}=-17$$ and $$\vec{b} \cdot \vec{c}=-20$$.

The given vectors are : <br/><br/>$$\vec{a} = \lambda \hat{i} + \hat{j} - \hat{k}$$ <br/><br/>$$\vec{b} = 3\hat{i} - \hat{j} + 2\hat{k}$$ <br/><br/>We are given that $(\vec{a} + \vec{b} + \vec{c}) \times \vec{c} = 0$ which implies $(\vec{a} + \vec{b}) \times \vec{c} = 0$. So, $\vec{c}$ is in the direction of $\vec{a} + \vec{b}$. <br/><br/>Let's denote $\vec{c} = \alpha (\vec{a} + \vec{b})$. <br/><br/>Substituting values for $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$, we get : <br/><br/>$$\vec{c} = \alpha((\lambda + 3) \hat{i} + \hat{k})$$ <br/><br/>From the conditions $\vec{a} \cdot \vec{c} = -17$ and $\vec{b} \cdot \vec{c} = -20$, we can form two equations : <br/><br/>$$\alpha \lambda(\lambda + 3) - \alpha = -17 \quad \text{and} \quad \alpha(3\lambda + 9 + 2) = -20.$$ <br/><br/>By solving the above equations, we find $\alpha = -1$ and $\lambda = 3$. <br/><br/>Substituting these values back into $\vec{c}$ gives $\vec{c} = -6 \hat{i} - \hat{k}$. <br/><br/>Next, we need to find $|\vec{c} \times (\lambda \hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k})|^2$. <br/><br/>This simplifies to : <br/><br/>$$|\vec{c} \times (3\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k})|^2$$ <br/><br/>Calculate the cross product $\vec{c} \times (3\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k})$ which gives : <br/><br/>$$ =\left|\begin{array}{lll} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\ -6 & 0 & -1 \\ 3 & 1 & 1 \end{array}\right|=\hat{\mathrm{i}}+3 \hat{\mathrm{j}}-6 \hat{\mathrm{k}} $$ <br/><br/>Finally, the square of the magnitude of this vector is: <br/><br/>$$|\vec{c} \times (3\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k})|^2 = (1)^2 + 3^2 + (-6)^2 = 1 + 9 + 36 = 46.$$

The work done by a force on a particle is given by the dot product of the force and the displacement vector of the particle. The displacement vector can be found by subtracting the initial position from the final position: <br/><br/> $$\mathbf{displacement} = \mathbf{final\ position} - \mathbf{initial\ position} = (5\widehat i + 4\widehat j + \widehat k) - (\widehat i + 2\widehat j + 3\widehat k) = 4\widehat i + 2\widehat j - 2\widehat k$$ <br/><br/> The total work done by the two forces is equal to the sum of the work done by each force. The work done by each force can be calculated as the dot product of the force and the displacement: <br/><br/> $$\mathbf{work\ done\ by\ force\ 1} = (4\widehat i + \widehat j - 3\widehat k) \cdot (4\widehat i + 2\widehat j - 2\widehat k) = 4 \cdot 4 + 1 \cdot 2 - 3 \cdot -2 = 16 + 2 + 6 = 24$$ <br/><br/> $$\mathbf{work\ done\ by\ force\ 2} = (3\widehat i + \widehat j - \widehat k) \cdot (4\widehat i + 2\widehat j - 2\widehat k) = 3 \cdot 4 + 1 \cdot 2 - 1 \cdot -2 = 12 + 2 + 2 = 16$$ <br/><br/> The total work done by the forces is the sum of the work done by each force: <br/><br/> $$\mathbf{total\ work\ done} = 24 + 16 = 40$$ <br/><br/> Therefore, the total work done by the forces is 40 J (joules) or 40 units.
