Question

If the vectors $3\hat{\text{i}}+\lambda\hat{\text{j}}+\hat{\text{k}}$ and $2\hat{\text{i}}-\hat{\text{j}}+8\hat{\text{k}}$ are perpendicular, then $\lambda$ is equal to:

$-14$
$7$
$14$
$\frac{1}{7}$

Answer

$14$

Solution:

It is given that vectors $3\hat{\text{i}}+\lambda\hat{\text{j}}+\hat{\text{k}}$ and $2\hat{\text{i}}-\hat{\text{j}}+8\hat{\text{k}}$ are perpendicular.

So, their dot product is zero.

$\big(3\hat{\text{i}}+\lambda\hat{\text{j}}+\hat{\text{k}}\big).\big(2\hat{\text{i}}-\hat{\text{j}}+8\hat{\text{k}}\big)=0$

$\Rightarrow6-\lambda+8=0$

$\Rightarrow14-\lambda=0$

$\therefore\lambda=14$
