If \(\vec{a}=\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}, \vec{b}=-\hat{\imath}+2 \hat{\jmath}+\hat{k}, \vec{c}=3 \hat{i}+\hat{j}\) and \(\bar{a}+\lambda \bar{b}\) is perpendicular to \(\overline{\mathrm{c}}\), then \(\lambda=\)
- A 5
- B 2
- C 3
- D 4
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) 5
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\begin{aligned} & (\bar{a}+\lambda \bar{b}) \cdot \bar{c}=0 \\ & \therefore[(1-\lambda) \hat{i}+(2+2 \lambda) \hat{j}+(3+\lambda) \hat{k}] \cdot[3 \hat{i}+\hat{j}]=0 \\ & \therefore(1-\lambda)(3)+(2+2 \lambda)(1)=0 \Rightarrow \lambda=5\end{aligned}\)
