Please solve RD Sharma class 12 chapter 25 Scalar triple product exercise multiple choice question 17 maths textbook solution

Answers (1)

Answer:

 -2

Hint:

 Vectors are coplanar, then their scalar triple product is zero

\begin{aligned} &\therefore \left [ \overrightarrow{a} \quad \overrightarrow{b} \quad \overrightarrow{c} \right ]=\begin{vmatrix} 3 &-1 &2 \\ 2 &1 &3 \\ 1 &\lambda &-1 \end{vmatrix}\\ &=3(-1-3\lambda )+1(-2-3)+2(2\lambda -1)\\ &=-3-9\lambda -2-3+4\lambda -2\\ &=-5\lambda -10 \end{aligned}

As, vectors are coplanar

\begin{aligned} &\left [ \overrightarrow{a} \quad \overrightarrow{b} \quad \overrightarrow{c} \right ]=0\\ &-5\lambda -10=0\\ &\lambda =\frac{10}{-5}\\ &\lambda =-2 \end{aligned}
