    The number of straight lines that are equally inclined to the three-dimensional coordinate axes, is

    A) \[2\]                                     

    B) \[4\]

    C) \[6\]                                     

    D) \[8\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Since,\[\alpha =\beta =\gamma \Rightarrow {{\cos }^{2}}\alpha +{{\cos }^{2}}\alpha +{{\cos }^{2}}\alpha =1\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\Rightarrow \alpha +{{\cos }^{-}}\left( \pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \right)\] So, there are four line whose \[DC's\] are \[\left( \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}},\,\,\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}},\,\,\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \right),\,\,\left( \frac{-1}{\sqrt{3}},\,\,\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}},\,\,\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \right),\,\,\left( \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}},\,\,\frac{-1}{\sqrt{3}},\,\,\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \right)\]\[\left( \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}},\,\,\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}},\,\,\frac{-1}{\sqrt{3}} \right)\]
