Answer: \lambda =8

Hint: You must know the rules of solving vector.

Given:

\begin{aligned} &\vec{a}=2 \hat{\imath}+2 \hat{\jmath}+3 \hat{k} \\ &\vec{b}=-\hat{\imath}+2 \hat{\jmath}+\hat{k} \\ &\vec{c}=3 \hat{\imath}+\hat{\jmath} \end{aligned}

\vec{a}+\lambda \vec{b} \text{ is perpendicular to }\vec{c} \ then \ find \: \lambda

Solution: We have,

\begin{aligned} &\vec{a}=2 \hat{\imath}+2 \hat{\jmath}+3 \hat{k}, \quad \vec{b}=-\hat{\imath}+2 \hat{\jmath}+\hat{k}, \quad \vec{c}=3 \hat{\imath}+\hat{\jmath} \\ &\therefore \vec{a}+\lambda \vec{b}=2 \hat{\imath}+2 \hat{\jmath}+3 \hat{k}+\lambda(-\hat{\imath}+2 \hat{\jmath}+\hat{k}) \\ &\vec{a}+\lambda \vec{b}=(2-\lambda) \hat{\imath}+(2+2 \lambda) \hat{\jmath}+(3+\lambda) \hat{k} \end{aligned}

Given \: \: that \: \: \vec{a}+\lambda \vec{b} \: \: is \perp to \ \vec{c}

\therefore(\vec{a}+\lambda \vec{b}) \cdot \vec{c}=0 \\

\Rightarrow[(2-\lambda) \hat{\imath}+(2+2 \lambda) \hat{\jmath}+(3+\lambda) \hat{k}] \cdot(3 \hat{\imath}+\hat{\jmath}) \\

\Rightarrow 3(2-\lambda)+1(2+2 \lambda)=0 \\

\Rightarrow 6-3 \lambda+2+2 \lambda=0 \\

\lambda=8
