Question
For what of $\lambda$ are the vectors $\vec{\text{a}}=2\hat{\text{i}}+\lambda\hat{\text{j}}+\hat{\text{k}}$ and $\vec{\text{b}}=\hat{\text{i}}-2\hat{\text{j}}+3\hat{\text{k}}$ perpendicular to each other?

Answer

We have
$\vec{\text{a}}=2\hat{\text{i}}+\lambda\hat{\text{j}}+\hat{\text{k}}$ and $\vec{\text{b}}=\hat{\text{i}}-2\hat{\text{j}}+3\hat{\text{k}}$
Given that $\vec{\text{a}}$ and $\vec{\text{b}}$ are perpendicular.
$\Rightarrow\vec{\text{a}}.\vec{\text{b}}=0$
$\Rightarrow\big(2\hat{\text{i}}+\lambda\hat{\text{j}}+\hat{\text{k}}\big).\big(\hat{\text{i}}-2\hat{\text{j}}+3\hat{\text{k}}\big)=0$
$\Rightarrow2-2\lambda+3=0$
$\Rightarrow5-2\lambda=0$
$\therefore\lambda=\frac{5}{2}$
