If \[\left[ 3 \vec{a} + 7 \vec{b} \vec{c} \vec{d} \right] = \lambda\left[ \vec{a} \vec{c} \vec{d} \right] + \mu\left[ \vec{b} \vec{c} \vec{d} \right],\] then find the value of λ + μ.

उत्तर
We have
\[\left[ 3 \vec{a} + 7 \vec{b} \vec{c} \vec{d} \right] = \lambda \left[ \vec{a} \vec{c} \vec{d} \right] + \mu\left[ \vec{b} \vec{c} \vec{d} \right]\]
\[ \Rightarrow \left[ \left( 3 \vec{a} + 7 \vec{b} \right) \times \vec{c} \right] . \vec{d} = \lambda \left[ \vec{a} \vec{c} \vec{d} \right] + \mu\left[ \vec{b} \vec{c} \vec{d} \right] \left(\text { By definition of scalar triple product } \right)\]
\[ \Rightarrow \left[ \left( 3 \vec{a} \times \vec{c} \right) + \left( 7 \vec{b} \times \vec{c} \right) \right] . \vec{d} = \lambda \left[ \vec{a} \vec{c} \vec{d} \right] + \mu\left[ \vec{b} \vec{c} \vec{d} \right] \]
\[ \Rightarrow \left( 3 \vec{a} \times \vec{c} \right) . \vec{d} + \left( 7 \vec{b} \times \vec{c} \right) . \vec{d} = \lambda \left[ \vec{a} \vec{c} \vec{d} \right] + \mu\left[ \vec{b} \vec{c} \vec{d} \right] \]
\[ \Rightarrow \left[ 3 \vec{a} \vec{c} \vec{d} \right] + \left[ 7 \vec{b} \vec{c} \vec{d} \right] = \lambda \left[ \vec{a} \vec{c} \vec{d} \right] + \mu\left[ \vec{b} \vec{c} \vec{d} \right]\]
\[ \Rightarrow 3 \left[ \vec{a} \vec{c} \vec{d} \right] + 7 \left[ \vec{b} \vec{c} \vec{d} \right] = \lambda \left[ \vec{a} \vec{c} \vec{d} \right] + \mu\left[ \vec{b} \vec{c} \vec{d} \right] \left( \because \left[ \lambda \vec{a} \vec{b} \vec{c} \right] = \lambda\left[ \vec{a} \vec{b} \vec{c} \right] \text { for any scalar } \lambda \right)\]
Comparing both sides, we get
\[\lambda = 3 \]
\[\mu = 7\]
\[ \therefore \lambda + \mu = 3 + 7 = 10\]
