The value of lambda for two perpendicula...

The value of `lambda` for two perpendicular vectors `vec(A)=2vec(i)+lambdavec(j)+vec(k)` and `vec(B)=4vec(i)-2vec(j)-2vec(k)` is :-

A

4

B

3

C

1

D

6

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`vec(B).vec(A)=0("since" vec(A)_|_vec(B))`
`rArr " " 8-2lambda-2=0`
`rArr lambda=3`
