The volume of the tetrahedron whose vertices are the points `hati, hati+hatj, hati+hatj+hatk` and `2hati+3hatj+lamdahatk` is `1//6` units, Then the values of `lamda`A. does not existB. is 7C. is -1D. is any real value

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Let ABCD be the given tetradehron. Then
`vec(AB)=hatj,vec(AC)=hatj+hatk` and `vec(AD)=hati+3hatj+lamdahatk`
`:.` volume `=1/6`
`implies1/6[(vec(AB), vec(AC),vec(AD))]=1/6`
`implies[(vec(AB),vec(AC),vec(AD))]=1`
`=(vec(AB)xxvec(AC).vec(AD))=1`
`implieshati.(hati+K3hatj+lamda hatk)=1`, which is true for all values of `lamda`
