MCQ
The angle between the lines whose direction cosines satisfy the equations $l + m + n = 0$, ${l^2} + {m^2} - {n^2} = 0$ is given by
  • A
    $\frac{{2\pi }}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{\pi }{6}$
  • C
    $\frac{{5\pi }}{6}$
  • $\frac{\pi }{3}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\frac{\pi }{3}$
d
(d) $l + m + n = 0,\,\,{l^2} + {m^2} - {n^2} = 0$ and ${l^2} + {m^2} + {n^2} = 1$

Solving above equations, we get $m = \pm \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }},\,\,n = \pm \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}$ and $l = 0$.

$\therefore \,\,\,\theta = \frac{\pi }{3}$ or $\frac{\pi }{2}$.
