To determine the values of \( \alpha \) for which the lines \( L_1 \) and \( L_2 \) are coplanar, we will use the condition that the determinant formed by the direction ratios and the position vectors of the lines must be equal to zero. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the lines**: The lines are given as: - \( L_1: x = 5, \frac{y}{3 - \alpha} = \frac{z}{-2} \) - \( L_2: x = \alpha, \frac{y}{-1} = \frac{z}{2 - \alpha} \) ...
