Options
- A46 17
- B8
- C-8
- D146 17
Correct answer
A. 46 17
Step-by-step solution
Let A, B, C and D are the position vectors of four points given as aligned & A(3 i -2 j - k ), B(2 i +3 j -4 k ), C(- i + j +2 k ) & and D(4 i +5 j + k ) aligned Here, aligned & AB =- i +5 j -3 k & BC =-3 i -2 j +6 k aligned and C D=5 i +4 j +( -2) k As given that, these points are coplanar, therefore [ AB BC CD ]=0 aligned & | array ccc -1 & 5 & -3 -3 & -2 & 6 5 & 4 & -2 array |=0 & -1(-2 +4-24)-5(-3( -2)-30) & -3(-12+10)=0 & 17 +20+20+15( -2)+150+36-30=0 & 17 +146=0 =- 146 17 aligned
