Answer:  \lambda= 5

Given:  \vec{a}=\lambda \hat{i}+\hat{\jmath}+4 \hat{k} \& \vec{b}=2 \hat{i}+6 \hat{\jmath}+3 \hat{k}   and projection of  a on  \vec{a} \text { on } \vec{b}=4 \text { units. }

Hint: you must know about the concept of projection of a on  \vec{a} \text { on } \vec{b}

Solution: projection of  a on  \vec{a} \text { on } \vec{b}=\frac{\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}}{|\vec{b}|}

\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow 4=\frac{(\lambda \hat{i}+\hat{j}+4 \hat{k}) \cdot(2 \hat{i}+6 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k})}{\sqrt{2^{2}+6^{2}+3^{2}}} \\ & \end{aligned}

\Rightarrow 4=\frac{2 \lambda+6+12}{\sqrt{4+36+9}}

\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow \quad 4=\frac{2 \lambda+18}{\sqrt{49}} \\ & \end{aligned}

\Rightarrow 4=\frac{2 \lambda+18}{\sqrt{7}}

\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow 28=2 \lambda+18 \\ & \end{aligned}

\Rightarrow 28-18=2 \lambda \\

\Rightarrow 2 \lambda=10 \\

\Rightarrow \lambda=5
