MCQ
The vectors $i + 2j + 3k,$ $\lambda i + 4j + 7k,$ $ - 3i - 2j - 5k$ are collinear, if $\lambda$ equals
  • $3$
  • B
    $4$
  • C
    $5$
  • D
    $6$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$3$
a
(a) $\left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&2&3\\\lambda &4&7\\{ - 3}&{ - 2}&{ - 5}\end{array}} \right|\, = 0 \Rightarrow \lambda = 3.$
