If the vectors \(\mathbf{a}=2 \hat{\mathbf{i}}-3 \hat{\mathbf{j}}+4 \hat{\mathbf{k}}, \mathbf{b}=\hat{\mathbf{i}}+2 \hat{\mathbf{j}}-\hat{\mathbf{k}}\) and \(\mathbf{c}=m \hat{\mathbf{i}}-\hat{\mathbf{j}}+2 \hat{\mathbf{k}}\) are coplanar, then the value of \(m\) is

  1. A \(\frac{5}{8}\)
  2. B \(\frac{8}{5}\)
  3. C \(\frac{-7}{4}\)
  4. D \(\frac{2}{3}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{8}{5}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since, vectors a, b and c are coplanar \(\therefore[\mathbf{a} b \mathbf{c}]=0 \Rightarrow \mathbf{a} \cdot(\mathbf{b} \times \mathbf{c})=0\) Now,…
