MCQ

If the vectors $3\hat{\text{i}}+\lambda\hat{\text{j}}+\hat{\text{k}}$ and $2\hat{\text{i}}-\hat{\text{j}}+8\hat{\text{k}}$ are perpendicular, then $\lambda$ is equal to :

A
$-14$
B
$7$
✓
$14$
D
$\frac{1}{7}$

✓

Answer

Correct option: C.

$14$

It is given that vectors $3\hat{\text{i}}+\lambda\hat{\text{j}}+\hat{\text{k}}$ and $2\hat{\text{i}}-\hat{\text{j}}+8\hat{\text{k}}$ are perpendicular.
So, their dot product is zero.
$\big(3\hat{\text{i}}+\lambda\hat{\text{j}}+\hat{\text{k}}\big).\big(2\hat{\text{i}}-\hat{\text{j}}+8\hat{\text{k}}\big)=0$
$\Rightarrow6-\lambda+8=0$
$\Rightarrow14-\lambda=0$
$\therefore\lambda=14$
