If the direction cosines of two lines are given by l+m+n=0 and m n-2 l m-2 n l=0 , then the acute angle between those lines is
Options
- A2 5
- B3
- C4
- D60
Correct answer
B. 3
Step-by-step solution
l+m+n=0 l=-m-n ...(i) aligned & and m n-2 l m-2 n l=0 & m n+2(m+n) m+2(m+n) n=0 & (2 m+n)(m+2 n)=0 n=-2 m or m=-2 n & l=m or l=n aligned Direction ratios of lines are (1,1,-2) and (1,-2,1) , then angle between them is given by = | 1-2-2 6 6 |= 1 2 = 3
