Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The given four poins are complanar.
`|(2,1,3,1),(3,2,4,lamda),(-1,3,-2,6),(1,1,1,0)|=0`
`implies|(2,1,3,1),(0,0,0,-(lamda+2)),(-1,3-2,6),(1,1,1,1)|=0`
Operating `(R_(2) to R_(2)-R_(1)-R_(4))`
`implies-(lamda+2)|(2,1,3),(-1,3,-2),(1,1,1)|=0implies lamda=-2`.
