Options
- A30^
- B45^
- C60^
- D75^
Correct answer
C. 60^
Step-by-step solution
Here, line A B in three dimensions makes an angle 45^ and 120^ with positive X -axis and Y -axis respectively and acuts angle with positive Z -axis. ^2 45^ + ^2 120^ + ^2 =1 ( 1 2 )^2+ ( 1 2 )^2+ ^2 =1 ^2 =1- ( 1 2 + 1 4 ) ^2 =1 / 4 =1 / 2 =60^
