If the position vectors off A,B,C and D are `2hati+hatj,hati-3hatj,3hati+2hatj and hati+lamdahatj`, respectively and `AB||CD`, then `lamda` will beA. `-8`B. `-6`C. 8D. 6

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`AB=(hati-3hatj)-(2hati+hatj)=-hati-4hatj`.
`CD=(hati+lamdahatj)-(3hati+2hatj)=-2hati+(lamda-2)hatj`
`AB||CDimpliesAB=xCD`
`-hati-4hatj=x{-2hati+(lamda-2)hatj}`
`implies -1=-2x,-4=(lamda-2)x`
`impliesx=(1)/(2) and lamda=-6`.
