Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(8\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(\mathbf{a}=\hat{\mathbf{i}}+3 \hat{\mathbf{j}}+4 \hat{\mathbf{k}}\) and \(\mathbf{b}=\lambda \hat{\mathbf{i}}-4 \hat{\mathbf{j}}+\hat{\mathbf{k}}\) Since, \(\mathbf{a}\) and \(\mathbf{b}\) are orthogonal to each other…
