Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{4}{9}, \frac{8}{9}, \frac{1}{9}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \(2 \mathbf{a}+3 \mathbf{b}-\mathbf{c}, \mathbf{a}-2 \mathbf{b}+3 \mathbf{c}, 3 \mathbf{a}+\lambda \mathbf{b}-2 \mathbf{c}\) and \(\mathbf{a}-\mathbf{6 b}+\mathbf{6} \mathbf{c}\) are coplanar.…
