Expand the determinant along the first row.

⇒ −4[(λ − 5)(6 − 2λ)−0]−(−3)[−7(6 − 2λ)−(−6)(4 − 2λ)]+(3 − 2λ)[0 −(−6)(λ − 5)]
On solving the above equation we get,

∴ λ = 3, λ = 2
We have two values of λ.

Let the given vectors be A ˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ

We know that if the vectors are coplanar then [ AB AC AD
]= 0
−
−→
ˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ
⇒ AB =(2 i − 3 j + 4k̂)−( i − 2 j + 3k̂)= i − j + k
−
−→
ˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ
⇒ AC =((α + 1) i + 2k̂)−( i − 2 j + 3k̂)= α i + 2 j − k
−
−→
ˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ
⇒ AD =(9 i +(α − 8) j + 6k̂)−( i − 2 j + 3k̂)= 8 i +(α − 6) j + 3k
Now,
∣ 1 −1 1 ∣
∣ ∣
⇒ α 2 −1 = 0
∣ ∣
∣ 8 α − 6 3 ∣
2
⇒ 1(6 + α − 6)+(3α + 8)+(α − 6α − 16)= 0
On Simplifying we get,
2
⇒ α − 2α − 8 = 0
Therefore, sum of the roots is −(−2)= 2.

The given position vectors can be written as
A(α, 10, 13)
B(6, 11, 11)
9
C( , β, − 8)

Also given that these three points are collinear.

Let us assume that the point B divides AB, BC in the ratio k : 1.
Since, A, B, C are collinear
On applying section formula for z co-ordinate we get,

−8k+13
11 =
k+1
⇒ 11k + 11 = −8k + 13
⇒ 19k = 2
2
⇒ k =

α×19+ ( ) ×2
Now,

Now similarly, 21

a = 6 i + 9 j + 12k, b

→
→ → →
a × c − a × b = 0
→
→ →
⇒ a ×( c − b )= 0

So, a & ( c − b ) are parallel vectors,

Hence, λ a = c − b

⇒ c = b + λ a

⇒ a ⋅ c = a ⋅ b + λ a

⇒ −12 =(6α + 75)+λ(261)
⇒ 2α + 87λ = −29 . . . . (i)

Now again using c = b + λ a we get,
→
ˆ ˆ ˆ
c = i (α + 6λ)+ j(11 + 9λ) + k(−2 + 12λ)
→
Also given ˆ ˆ ˆ
c ⋅( i − 2 j + k)= 5
⇒(α + 6λ)−2(11 + 9λ) + (−2 + 12λ) = 5
⇒ α = 29
So, 2α + 87λ = −29
⇒ λ = −1
→
Hence, ˆ ˆ ˆ
c = 23 i + 2 j − 14k

So, the value of ˆ ˆ ˆ
c ⋅ ( i + j + k) = 23 + 2 − 14 = 11

Given: ˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ
u 1 = i + j + ak, u 2 = i + b j + k and ˆ ˆ ˆ
u 3 = ci + j + k are coplanar.

Also given that, ˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ
v 1 =(a + b) i + c j + ck, v 2 = a i +(b + c) j + ak and ˆ ˆ ˆ
v 3 = b i + b j +(c + a)k are coplanar.
Now, using the condition of coplanar we get,
∣1 1 a∣
∣ ∣
⇒ 1 b 1 = 0
∣ ∣
∣c 1 1∣
Expanding the determinant along R . 1
⇒(b − 1)−(1 − c)+a(1 − bc)= 0
⇒ a + b + c = 2 + abc . . . . .(i)
Again using the coplanar condition we get,

∣a + b c c ∣
∣ ∣
⇒ a b + c a = 0
∣ ∣
∣ b b c + a∣
Apply row transformations, (R 3 → R3 −(R1 + R2 ))
∣a + b c c ∣
∣ ∣
⇒ a b + c a = 0
∣ ∣
∣ −2a −2c 0∣
Expand the determinant along R . 1
2
⇒(a + b)(0 + 2ac)−c(0 + 2a )+c(−2ac + 2a(b + c))= 0
2 2 2 2
⇒ 2a c + 2abc − 2a c − 2ac + 2abc + 2ac = 0
⇒ abc = 0
∴ a + b + c = 2 (From eq (i))
∴ 6(a + b + c)= 12
