If two lines are parallel to each other, then which of the following is true? (if ( (l₁, m₁, n₁ ) ) and ( (l₂, m₂, n₂ ) ) are direction cosines of the two lines).
Options
- A(I₁ I₂+m₁ m₂+n₁ n₂=0 )
- B( (l₁ l₂-m₂ m₁ )^2=0 )
- C( l₁ l₂ = m₁ m₂ = n₁ n₂ )
- D(l₁ l₂+m₁ m₂+n₁ n₂=1 )
Correct answer
C. ( l₁ l₂ = m₁ m₂ = n₁ n₂ )
Step-by-step solution
The two lines having direction ( cosines l₁, m₁, n₁ ) and (l₂, m₂, n₂ ) respectively are parallel to each other, then ( l₁ l₂ = m₁ m₂ = n₁ n₂ ) Hence, option (c) is correct.
