If , and are the angles which the vector OP (O being the origin) makes with positive direction of the coordinate axes, then which of the following are correct? 1. ^2 + ^2 = ^2 2. ^2 + ^2 = ^2 3. ^2 + ^2 + ^2 =2 Select the correct answer using the code given below.
Options
- A1 and 2 only
- B2 and 3 only
- C1 and 3 only
- D1,2 and 3
Correct answer
C. 1 and 3 only
Step-by-step solution
We know, ^2 + ^2 + ^2 =1 ^2 + ^2 =1- ^2 = ^2 Statement 1 is correct. Now, ^2 + ^2 + ^2 =1 aligned & 1- ^2 +1- ^2 +1- ^2 =1 & 3- ( ^2 + ^2 + ^2 )=1 & ^2 + ^2 + ^2 =2 aligned Statement 3 is correct.
