Read carefully, then pick the best option.
If the components of a=αi^+βj^+γk^ \vec{a} = \alpha \hat{i} + \beta \hat{j} + \gamma \hat{k} along and perpendicular to b=3i^+j^k^ \vec{b} = 3\hat{i} + \hat{j} - \hat{k} respectively, are 1610(3i^+j^k^) \frac{16}{10}(3\hat{i} + \hat{j} - \hat{k}) and 110(4i^5j^17k^) \frac{1}{10}(-4\hat{i} - 5\hat{j} - 17\hat{k}) , then α2+β2+γ2 \alpha^2 + \beta^2 + \gamma^2 is equal to
