Detailed Solution

The vertices are A(1,6,10),B(1,3,7),C(5,1,λ) and D(7,4,7)

 AB=2i^+3j^3k^,AC=4i^+5j^+(λ10)k^AD=6i^+2j^3k^

It is given that the volume of the tetrahedron ABCD is 11 cubic units. 

16ABACAD=±1123345λ10623=±66

23300λ4623=±66       Applying R2R2R1+R3

 (λ4)(418)=±66 22(λ4)=±66 λ4=±3λ=7,1

Hence, sum of the values of λ is 7+1=8
