The direction cosines of two lines are 3 2 , 1 4 , 3 4 and - 3 2 , 1 4 , 3 4 . Then the angle between the lines is equal to
Options
- A30^
- B60^
- C45^
- D90^
Correct answer
B. 60^
Step-by-step solution
Given, Dr's are ( 3 2 , 1 4 , 3 4 ) and ( - 3 2 , 1 4 , 3 4 ) Angle between lines is aligned & = |l₁ l₂+m₁ m₂+n₁ n₂ | & | 3 2 (- 3 2 )+ 1 4 ( 1 4 )+ 3 4 ( 3 4 ) | & .= 1 2 3 16 |=| -3 4 + 1 4 , aligned Hence, option (2) is correct.
