If 2 , 3 , 9 , 5 , 2 , 1 , 1 , λ , 8 and λ , 2 , 3 are coplanar, then the product of all possible values of λ is
Options
- A21 2
- B59 8
- C57 8
- D95 8
Correct answer
D. 95 8
Step-by-step solution
Given, Points A 2 , 3 , 9 ,   B 5 , 2 , 1 ,   C 1 , λ , 8   &   D λ , 2 , 3 are coplanar, Now we know that condition of coplanarity is A B → A C → A D → = 0 ⇒ 3 - 1 - 8 - 1 λ - 3 - 1 λ - 2 - 1 - 6 = 0 ⇒ 3 - 6 λ - 3 - 1 + 1 6 + λ - 2 - 8 1 - λ - 3 λ - 2 = 0 ⇒ 3 - 6 λ + 17 + 4 + λ - 8 + 8 λ - 3 λ - 2 = 0 ⇒ - 18 λ + 51 + 4 + λ - 8 + 8 λ 2 - 40 λ + 48 = 0 ⇒ 8 λ 2 -
