Detailed Solution

If a,b,c are linearly dependent vectors, then c should be a linear combination of a and b

Let c=pa+qb

 i.e. i^+αj^+βk^=p(i^+j^+k^)+q(4i^+3j^+4k^)

Equating coefficients of i^,j^,k^ we get 

1=p+4q,α=p+3q,β=p+4q

from first and third, β=1

Now, |c|=3

1+α2+β2=31+α2+1=3α=±1

Hence, α=±1,β=1
