Q60 / 90 · JEE Main 2021 (26 Feb Shift 1) · Mathematics

If 1,5,35,7,5,5,1,λ,7 and 2λ,1,2 are coplanar, then the sum of all possible values of λ is:

  • Correct answer
    A
    445
  • B
    -445
  • C
    395
  • D
    -395

Solution

A1,5,35,B7,5,5,C1,λ,7,D2λ,1,2

AB¯=6i^-30k^, BC¯=-6i+^λ-5j^+2k^

CD→=2λ-1i^+1-λj^-5k^

Points are coplanar
⇒0=60-30-6λ-522λ-11-λ-5

=6-5λ+25-2+2λ

-30-6+6λ-2λ2-λ-10λ+5

=6-3λ+23-30-2λ2+11λ-5-6+6λ

=6-3λ+23-30-2λ2+17λ-11

=6-3λ+23+10λ2-85λ+55

=610λ2-88λ+78=125λ2-44λ+39

⇒0=125λ2-44λ+39

λ1+λ2=445

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
