Answer: p=\frac{-1}{3}

Hint: You must know the rules of vector functions

Given: Find value of ‘p’

3\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+9\hat{k},\hat{i}-2\hat{pj}+3\hat{k} are parallel

Solution:

                  Let \vec{a}=3\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+9\hat{k}

\vec{b}=\hat{i}-2\hat{pj}+3\hat{k}

                                If \vec{a} &\vec{b} are parallel

\vec{b}=\lambda\vec{a}

\begin{aligned} &\hat{i}-2 \hat{p j}+3 \hat{k}=\lambda(3 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+9 \hat{k})\\ &\hat{i}-2 \hat{p j}+3 \hat{k}=3 \lambda \hat{i}+2 \lambda \hat{j}+9 \lambda \hat{k}\\ \end{aligned}

\therefore On comparing,

\begin{aligned} &3 \lambda=1 \Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{1}{3}\\ &3=9 \lambda \Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{1}{3}\\ \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} &-2 p=2 \lambda \Rightarrow-2 p=2 \times \frac{1}{3} \Rightarrow p=\frac{-1}{3} \end{aligned}
