MCQ

Find the value of $\lambda$ so that the vectors $2 \hat{i}-4 \hat{j}+\hat{k}$ and $4 \hat{i}-8 \hat{j}+\lambda \hat{k}$ are perpendicular.

A
20
✓
-40
C
40
D
-20

✓

Answer

Correct option: B.

-40

(b): The given vectors are perpendicular if their dot product vanishes, i.e.,
$
\begin{aligned}
& (2 \hat{i}-4 \hat{j}+\hat{k}) \cdot(4 \hat{i}-8 \hat{j}+\lambda \hat{k})=0 \\
\Rightarrow & 8+32+\lambda=0 \Rightarrow \lambda=-40
\end{aligned}
