N2 - Studies are performed of the Cabibbo-favored decay Λ+푐→Λ⁢퐾0푆⁢퐾+ and the singly Cabibbo-suppressed decay Λ+푐→Λ⁢퐾0푆⁢휋+, based on a sample of 푒+⁢푒− collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.5  fb−1, accumulated at center-of-mass energies between 4599.53 MeV and 4698.82 MeV with the BESIII detector. The decay Λ+푐 →Λ⁢퐾0푆⁢휋+ is observed for the first time. The branching fractions of Λ+푐 →Λ⁢퐾0푆⁢퐾+ and Λ+푐 →Λ⁢퐾0푆⁢휋+ are measured to be (3.04 ±0.30±0.16) ×10−3 and (1.73 ±0.27 ±0.10) ×10−3, respectively, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic. These results correspond to the most precise measurement of these quantities for both decays. Evidence of a 퐾*+ contribution in the Λ+푐 →Λ⁢퐾0푆⁢휋+ decay is found with a statistical significance of 4.71⁢휎. The branching fraction of Λ+푐 →Λ⁢퐾*+ is calculated under three possible interference scenarios, with the significance increasing to 5.03⁢휎 when interference is taken into account.
