If the points A(−1,3,2)A(-1,3,2), B(−4,2,−2)B(-4,2,-2) and C(5,5,λ)C(5,5,\lambda) are collinear, then value of λ\lambda is :

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

AB⃗=(−3,−1,−4)\vec{AB}=(-3,-1,-4) and AC⃗=(6,2,λ−2)\vec{AC}=(6,2,\lambda-2). Collinearity needs AC⃗=−2AB⃗\vec{AC}=-2\vec{AB}, and the first two components confirm the factor −2-2. So λ−2=8\lambda-2=8, giving λ=10\lambda=10.
