MCQ
$l = m = n = 1$ represents the direction cosines of:
A
$x−$axis
B
$y−$axis
C
$z−$axis
✓
none of these
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
none of these
Suppose, $\text{l, m, n}$ are direction cosines
$\Rightarrow 1^2 + m^2 + n^2 = 1$
But $ 1 = m = n = 1$
$\Rightarrow 3m^2 = 1$
$\Rightarrow 1 = m = n = \frac{1}{\sqrt3}$
which are not direction cosines of either of the three co$-$ordinate axes.
