Let x0x_0 be the point of local maxima of f(x)=a⃗⋅(b⃗×c⃗)f(x) = \vec{a} \cdot (\vec{b} \times \vec{c}) , where a⃗=xi^−2j^+3k^\vec{a} = x\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} + 3\hat{k} , b⃗=−2i^+xj^−k^\vec{b} = -2\hat{i} + x\hat{j} - \hat{k} and c⃗=7i^−2j^+xk^\vec{c} = 7\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} + x\hat{k} . Then the value of a⃗⋅b⃗+b⃗⋅c⃗+c⃗⋅a⃗\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} + \vec{b} \cdot \vec{c} + \vec{c} \cdot \vec{a} at x=x0x = x_0 is : [JEE MAINS - ONLINE - 2020] 1. -30 2. 14 3. -4 4. -22
