The direction cosines of the line joining the points ( - 2 , 4 , - 5 ) and ( 1 , 2 , 3 ) are
Options
- A3 77 , - 2 77 , 8 77
- B3 77 , 2 77 , 8 77
- C1 , 0 , 0
- D- 3 77 , - 2 77 , 8 77
Correct answer
A. 3 77 , - 2 77 , 8 77
Step-by-step solution
Let P = - 2 , 4 , - 5  and  Q = 1 , 2 , 3 Direction ratio of P Q → = 3 , - 2 , 8 Direction Cosine= P Q → P Q → = l , m , n l = 3 3 2 + - 2 2 + 8 2 = 3 77 similarly m = - 2 77 , n = 8 77 l , m , n = 3 77 , - 2 77 , 8 77
