JEE Main & Advanced AIEEE Solved Paper-2010

  • question_answer
    A line AB in three dimensional space makes angles\[45{}^\circ \]and\[120{}^\circ \]with the positive x-axis and the positive y-axis respectively. If AB makes an acute angle\[\theta \]with the positive z-axis, then\[\theta \]equals -       AIEEE  Solved  Paper-2010

    A) \[30{}^\circ \]   

    B) \[45{}^\circ \]                   

    C) \[60{}^\circ \]                   

    D) \[75{}^\circ \]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[co{{s}^{2}}\alpha +co{{s}^{2}}\beta +co{{s}^{2}}\gamma =1\] \[co{{s}^{2}}45{}^\circ +co{{s}^{2}}120{}^\circ +co{{s}^{2}}\gamma =1\] \[\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4}+{{\cos }^{2}}\gamma =1\] \[{{\cos }^{2}}\gamma =\frac{1}{4}\] \[\cos \gamma =\pm \frac{1}{2}\] \[\gamma ={{60}^{o}}\]
