Question 3.
The volume of a parallelepiped whose edges are represented by \(-12 \vec{i}+\lambda k\), \(3 \vec{j}-\vec{k}, 2 \vec{i}+\vec{j}-15 \vec{k}\) is 546. Find the value of λ.
Solution:
Volume of the parallelepiped = Samacheer Kalvi 12th Maths Solutions Chapter 6 Applications of Vector Algebra Ex 6.2 24
= -12 [-45 + 1] – 0 () + λ [0 – 6] = -12 (-44) -6 λ
= 528 – 6λ = 546 (given)
