MCQ
Choose the correct answer from the given four options.
The value of $\lambda$ for which the vectors $3\hat{\text{i}}-6\hat{\text{j}}+\hat{\text{k}}$ and $2\hat{\text{i}}-4\hat{\text{j}}+\lambda\hat{\text{k}}$ are parallel, is:
  • $\frac{2}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{3}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{5}{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{2}{5}$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$\frac{2}{3}$
As the vectors $3\hat{\text{i}}-6\hat{\text{j}}+\hat{\text{k}}$ and $2\hat{\text{i}}-4\hat{\text{j}}+\lambda\hat{\text{k}}$ are parallel

$\therefore\frac{3}{2}=\frac{-6}{-4}=\frac{1}{\lambda}$

$\Rightarrow\lambda=\frac{2}{3}$
