    A line make angles of\[45{}^\circ \]and\[60{}^\circ \]with the \[x-\]axis and the z-axis respectively. The angle made by it with y-axis is:

    A)  \[30{}^\circ \,or\text{ }150{}^\circ \]    

    B)  \[60{}^\circ \,or\text{ }120{}^\circ \]

    C)  \[45{}^\circ \,or\text{ }135{}^\circ \]  

    D)         \[90{}^\circ \]

    E)  none of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[\because \]\[{{\cos }^{2}}+{{\cos }^{2}}\beta +{{\cos }^{2}}\gamma =1\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{\cos }^{2}}45{}^\circ +{{\cos }^{2}}\beta +{{\cos }^{2}}60{}^\circ =1\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{1}{2}+{{\cos }^{2}}\beta +\frac{1}{4}=1\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\cos \beta =\pm \frac{1}{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\beta =60{}^\circ \]or\[120{}^\circ \]
