MCQ
If a line makes the angle $\alpha,\beta,\gamma$ with three dimensional coordinate axes respectively, then $\cos2\alpha+\cos2\beta+\cos2\gamma$ is equal to:
  • A
    $-2$
  • ✓
    $-1$
  • C
    $1$
  • D
    $2$
✓

Answer

Correct option: B.
$-1$
We need to find value of $\cos2\alpha+\cos2\beta+\cos2\gamma$
It is further equal to $\cos^2\alpha-1+\cos^2\beta-1+\cos^2\gamma-1$
$=2\big(\cos^2\alpha+\cos^2\beta+\cos^2\gamma\big)-3$
$= 2(1) - 3 = 2 = -1$
$\therefore(\text{l}^2 + \text{m}^2 + \text{n}^2 = 1)$
