If the four points, whose position vectors are 3 i ^ - 4 j ^ + 2 k ^ , i ^ + 2 j ^ - k ^ , - 2 i ^ - j ^ + 3…

If the four points, whose position vectors are 3i^-4j^+2k^,i^+2j^-k^,-2i^-j^+3k^   and 5i^-2αj^+4k^ are coplanar, then α is equal to
  1. 7317
  2. -10717
  3. -7317
  4. 10717

Solution

Let the four points be A: (3,-4,2)B: (1,2,-1), C: (-2,-1,3) and D: (5,-2α, 4)

A, B, C, D are coplanar points, then

1-32+4-1-2-2-3-1+43-25-3-2α+44-2=0

-26-3-5312-2α+42=0

-3α+146=0

α=7317
