Solution

The correct option is B 85
Here,
OA=ij+k
OB=2i+2j3k
OC=3i+2j2k
OD=i+λj+2k

We know that,
A, B, C, D are coplanar, if AB,AC,AD are coplanar
and
AB=OBOA
Solution:
AB=i+3j4k
BC=2i+3j3k
CD=(λ+1)j+k
Now,
∣ ∣1342330λ+11∣ ∣=0
(3(3)(λ+1))3(2)+(4)(2(λ+1))=0
3+3λ+364(2λ+2)=0
6+3λ68λ8=0
3λ8λ8=0
λ=85
