    The plane \[2x-3y+6z-11=0\] makes an angle \[{{\sin }^{-1}}(a)\] with the x-axis. Then the value of a is-

    A) \[\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\]

    B) \[\frac{\sqrt{2}}{3}\]

    C) \[\frac{3}{7}\]

    D) \[\frac{2}{7}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] \[\therefore \] DR?s of the normal of the plane \[=2,-3,6\] and Dr?s of x-axis is 1, 0, 0 And if \[\theta \]is the angle between the plane and x-axis, then \[\sin \theta \] \[=\frac{2(1)+(-3)(0)+(6)(0)}{\sqrt{{{2}^{2}}+{{(-3)}^{2}}+{{6}^{2}}}\sqrt{1}}=\frac{2}{7}\] \[\Rightarrow \theta ={{\sin }^{-1}}\left( \frac{2}{7} \right)\therefore a=\frac{2}{7}\]
