Q.

Let c→ and d→ be vectors such that  |c→+d→|=29 and c→×(2i^+3j^+4k^)=(2i^+3j^+4k^)×d→. If λ1,λ2(λ1>λ2) are the possible values of (c→+d→)·(-7i^+2j^+3k^), then the equation K2x2+(K2-5K+λ1)xy+(3K+λ22)y2-8x+12y+λ2=0 represents a circle, for k equal to:   [2026]

1 -1
 
2 4  
3 1  
4 2  

Ans.

(3)

|c→+d→|=29

c→+d→=λ(2i^+3j^+4k^)

λ=±1

λ(-14+6+12)=4λ,   λ1=4,   λ2=-4

k2x2+(k2-5k+4)xy+(3k-2)y2-8x+12y-4=0

is circle

k2-5k+4=0⇒k=1,4

k2=3k-2⇒k=1,2

k=1
