MCQ
If the vectors $3i+\lambda \,j+k$  and $2i-j+8k$  are perpendicular, then $\lambda $ is
  • A
    $-14$
  • B
    $7$
  • $14$
  • D
    $1/7$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$14$
c
(c) Let $a = 3i + \lambda \,j + k$,$b = 2i - j + 8k$

$\because a \bot \,b$ $\therefore a\,.\,b = 0$

$(3i + \lambda \,j + k)\,.\,(2i - j + 8k) = 0$

$a,\,b,\,c$ $ \Rightarrow \lambda = 14.$
