The correct answer is: 80
Given, volume of parallelopiped
$$
[\overrightarrow{\mathbf{a}} \overrightarrow{\mathbf{b}} \overrightarrow{\mathbf{c}}]=40
$$
$\therefore$ Volume of parallelopiped
$=\left[\begin{array}{lll}\overrightarrow{\mathbf{b}}+\overrightarrow{\mathbf{c}} & \overrightarrow{\mathbf{c}}+\overrightarrow{\mathbf{a}} & \overrightarrow{\mathbf{a}}+\overrightarrow{\mathbf{b}}\end{array}\right]$
$=2[\overrightarrow{\mathbf{a}} \overrightarrow{\mathbf{b}} \overrightarrow{\mathbf{c}}]$
$=2 \times 40=80 \mathrm{cu}$ unit
