2
The value of $\lambda$ such that the four points whose position vectors are
$3\vec i-2\vec j+\lambda\vec k,\ 6\vec i+3\vec j+\vec k,\ 5\vec i+7\vec j+3\vec k$ and $2\vec i+2\vec j+6\vec k$
are coplanar is
Solution
Four points are coplanar if the determinant of their position vectors (relative to one point) is zero.
After forming vectors and evaluating the determinant, we get
$\lambda=4$
Answer: $\boxed{4}$
