The correct option is C

12


Determine the value of λ

If a,b and cbe non-coplanar vectors. then abc=a1a2a3b1b2b3c1c2c30.

We have,

a+2b2b+c5c+a=λabc120021105abc=λabc120021105abc-λabc=0120021105-λabc=0120021105-λ=0abc0,threevectorsarecoplanarλ=120021105

λ=1(10-0)-2(0-1)+0=10+2=12

Hence, option (C) is the correct answer
