For what value of ‘a’ the vectors   2 i^  - 3 j^ + 4 k    and   a i^  + 6 j^  - 8 k   are collinear?


Two vectors  x  and  y  are collinear if  x = λ y,   where  λ  is a constant.Now, the vectors  2 i^ - 3 j^ + 4 k   and     a i^ + 6 j^ - 8 k    are collinear,  2 i^ - 3 j^ + 4 k   = λ  a i^ + 6 j^ - 8 k ,  where  λ  is a constant. 2 = λ a,    - 3 = 6 λ,     4 = - 8 λ Now,  - 3 = 6 λ      or      4 = -  8 λ      λ  = - 122 = λ a 2 = - 12 x a a = - 4
