Detailed Solution

$\begin{array}{l} â. \hat{b} = \frac{1}{2} \\ Now (λ \hat{a} + 2 \hat{b}) \cdot (3 \hat{a} - λ \hat{b}) = 0 \\ 3 λ \hat{a} \cdot \hat{a} - λ^{2} \hat{a} \cdot \hat{b} + 6 \hat{a} \cdot \hat{b} - 2 λ \hat{b} \cdot \hat{b} = 0 \\ 3 λ - \frac{λ^{2}}{2} + 3 - 2 λ = 0 \\ λ^{2} - 2 λ - 6 = 0 \\ λ = 1 \pm \sqrt{7} \end{array}$
$\Rightarrow$ number of values = 0
