If the planes \(2 x-5 y+z=8\) and \(2 \lambda x-15 y+\lambda z+6=0\) are parallel to each other, then value of \(\lambda\) is

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 3

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given planes are parallel. Therefore normal vector to their plane is also parallel.
\(\therefore \frac{2}{2 \lambda}=\frac{-5}{-15}=\frac{1}{\lambda} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{\lambda}=\frac{1}{3} \Rightarrow \lambda=3\)
