Let the position vectors of the points A,B,CA, B, C and DD be 5\overset{^}{i} + 5\overset{^}{j} + 2\lambda\overset{^}{k}, \overset{^}{i} + 2\overset{^}{j} + 3\overset{^}{k}, - 2\overset{^}{i} + \lambda\overset{^}{j} + 4\overset{^}{k} and - \overset{^}{i} + 5\overset{^}{j} + 6\overset{^}{k} . Let the set S = { \lambda \in \mathbb{R}: the points A,B,CA, B, C and DD are coplanar} . The ∑λ∈S(λ+2)2\mathop{∑}_{\lambda \in S} ( \lambda + 2{)}^{2} is equal to

Options

  1. A2525
  2. B372\dfrac{37}{2}
  3. C1414
  4. D4141

Correct answer

D. 4141

Step-by-step solution

Given that:

A(5,5,2λ)A ( 5, 5, 2\lambda ), B(1,2,3)B\left(1, 2, 3\right), C(−2,λ,4)C\left(- 2, \lambda, 4\right) and

D(−1,5,6)D\left(- 1, 5, 6\right).

Now,

AB→≡(−4,−3,3−2λ)\overset{\to}{AB} ≡ ( - 4, - 3, 3 - 2\lambda )

AC→≡(−7,λ−5,4−2λ)\overset{\to}{AC} ≡ ( - 7, \lambda - 5, 4 - 2\lambda )

AD→≡(−6,0,6−2λ)\overset{\to}{AD} ≡ ( - 6, 0, 6 - 2\lambda )

Given that A,B,CandDA, B, C\text{and}D are coplanar.

∴[AB→AC→AD→]=0∴ [ \overset{\to}{AB}\overset{\to}{AC}\overset{\to}{AD} ] = 0

⇒ \left|\begin{cases}- 4 & - 3 & 3 - 2\lambda \\ - 7 & \lambda - 5 & 4 - 2\lambda \\ - 6 & 0 & 6 - 2\lambda\end{cases}\right| = 0

Expand the determinant along the first row.

⇒−4[(λ−5)(6−2λ)−0]−(−3)[−7(6−2λ)−(−6)(4−2λ)]+(3−2λ)[0−(−6)(λ−5)]⇒ - 4\left[\left(\lambda - 5\right)\left(6 - 2\lambda\right) - 0\right] - \left(- 3\right)\left[- 7\left(6 - 2\lambda\right) - \left(- 6\right)\left(4 - 2\lambda\right)\right] + \left(3 - 2\lambda\right)\left[0 - \left(- 6\right)\left(\lambda - 5\right)\right]

On solving the above equation we get,

∴λ=3,λ=2∴ \lambda = 3, \lambda = 2

We have two values of λ\lambda.

⇒∑λ∈s(λ+2)2=(3+2)2+(2+2)2⇒ \mathop{∑}_{\lambda \in s} ( \lambda + 2{)}^{2} = {\left(3 + 2\right)}^{2} + {\left(2 + 2\right)}^{2}

=41= 41

Hence, ∑λ∈s(λ+2)2=41\mathop{∑}_{\lambda \in s} ( \lambda + 2{)}^{2} = 41
