Answer» Correct Answer - D Given vectors `mu hat(i) + hat(j) +hat(k) , hat(i) muhat(j) + hat(k) , hat(j) + mu hat(k) ` will be coplanar if `|{:(mu,,1,,1),(1,,mu,,1),(1,,1,,mu):}|=0` `rArr mu(mu^(2) -1) -1(mu -1) + 1(1-mu) =0` `rArr (mu -1) [mu , (mu+1) -1-1]=0` `rArr (mu-1) [mu^(2) + mu-2]=0` `rArr (mu-1) [(mu +2) (mu-1)]=0` So sum of tthe distinct real values of `mu =1 -2=-1` |
