If the straight lines \(x=1+s, y=-3-\lambda s, z=1+\lambda s\) and \(x=\frac{t}{2}, y=1+t, z=2-t\) with parameters s and \(t\) respectively, are coplanar, then \(\lambda\) is equal to :

  1. A 3
  2. B \(-2\)
  3. C \(-1\)
  4. D 5
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(-2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\vec{a_1} = \hat{i} - 3\hat{j} + \hat{k}, \vec{b_1} = \hat{i} - \lambda\hat{j} + \lambda\hat{k}\) \(\vec{a_2} = \hat{j} + 2\hat{k}, \vec{b_2} = \frac{1}{2}\hat{i} + \hat{j} - \hat{k}\) \(\vec{a_2} - \vec{a_1} = -\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} + \hat{k}\)…
