Which of the following vector is equally inclined with the coordinate axes?
Options
- Ai ^ + 2 j ^ + 3 k ^
- B2 i ^ − 2 j ^ + k ^
- C3 i ^ + 3 j ^ − 3 k ^
- D4 i ^ + 4 j ^ + 4 k ^
Correct answer
D. 4 i ^ + 4 j ^ + 4 k ^
Step-by-step solution
We know that a vector is equally inclined with the coordinate axes if its direction cosines are equal. Now, let a → = 4 i ^ + 4 j ^ + 4 k ^ The direction ratios are a = 4 ,   b = 4 ,   c = 4 And a → = 4 2 + 4 2 + 4 2 = 4 3 The direction cosines of a → are a a → ,   b a → ,   c a → = 1 3 ,   1 3 ,   1 3 Since the direction cosines are equal, the vector 4 i ^ + 4 j ^ + 4 k ^ is equally inclined with the coordinate axes.
