3.The points \(A , B , C , D\) and \(E\) are five of the vertices of a rectangular cuboid and \(A E\) is a diagonal of the cuboid.With respect to a fixed origin \(O\) ,the position vectors of \(A , B , C\) and \(D\) are \(\mathbf { a , b , c }\) and d respectively,where
$$\mathbf { a } = \left( \begin{array} { c }
