Given

\\\vec a = \hat i + \hat j + \hat k ,\\ \vec b = \hat i \: \: and \: \: \\ \vec c = \hat i + 2 \hat j + c_3 \hat k

These will be coplanar when 

\left [ \vec a,\vec b,\vec c \right ]=0

\begin{vmatrix} 1 &1 &1 \\ 1& 0& 0\\ 1&2 &c_3 \end{vmatrix}=1(0)-1(c_3)+1(2)=0

-c_3+2=0

c_3=2

Hence the value of c_3for which vectors will be coplanar is 2.
