Best answer

a = i - j + k, b = 2i + j - k and c = λi - j + λk

Given : Vectors \(\bar a,\bar b,\bar c\) are coplanar.

Where,

To Find : value of λ

Formulae :

1) Scalar Triple Product:

If

Answer :

As vectors \(\bar a,\bar b,\bar c\) are coplanar

∴ [\(\bar a,\bar b,\bar c\)] = 0 …………eq(1)

For given vectors,

From eq(1) and eq(2),
