Correct Answer – `(146)/(17)`
Here `vec(AB) =- hat(i) +5hat(j) – 3hat(k)`
`vec(AC) =- 4hat(i) + 3hat(j) +3hat(k) ” and ” vec(AD) =hat(i) +7hat(j) + (lambda + 1) hat(k)`
we know that A,B,C,D lie in a plane if `vec(AB) , vec(AC) , vec(AD)` are coplanar i.e,
`[vec(AB) vec(AC) vec(AD)]=0 rArr |{:(-1,,5,,-3),(-4,,3,,3),(1,,7,,lambda+1):}|=0`
`rArr -1 (3lambda +3 -21) -5 (-4lambda -4-3) -3 (-28 -3) =0`
`rArr -17lambda + 146 =0`
`:. lambda =(146)/(17)`
