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: $\boxed{4}$
