  1. A 2
  2. B 0
  3. C \(-\frac{1}{2}\)
  4. D there is no such \(\lambda\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) there is no such \(\lambda\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

If a line \(\frac{x-x_{1}}{a_{1}}=\frac{y-y_{1}}{b_{1}}=\frac{z-z_{1}}{c_{1}}\) lies on a plane \(a_{2} x+b_{2} y+c_{2} z=d,\) then (i) \(a_{1} a_{2}+b_{1} b_{2}+c_{1} c_{2}=0\) (ii) \(a_{2} x_{1}+b_{2} y_{1}+c_{2} z_{1}=d\) According to the question.…
