    If a line is inclined at\[45{}^\circ \]to both x-axis and\[y-\]axis, then the angle at which it is inclined to z-axis is

    A)  \[45{}^\circ \]             

    B)  \[60{}^\circ \]

    C)  \[30{}^\circ \]              

    D)  \[90{}^\circ \]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Given,\[l=cos\text{ }45{}^\circ ,\text{ m}=cos\text{ }45{}^\circ and\,z=cos\text{ }\theta \] \[\because \] \[{{l}^{2}}+{{m}^{2}}+{{n}^{2}}=1\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[co{{s}^{2}}45{}^\circ +co{{s}^{2}}45{}^\circ +co{{s}^{2}}\theta =1\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+{{\cos }^{2}}\theta =1\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{\cos }^{2}}\theta =0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\theta =90{}^\circ \]
