Answer : Option DExplaination / Solution:
a line when intersect another line or axis two kind of angle form ,as an assumption we take positive side of axis, to define the direction of line we take angle made from all three axis.and we take cos not other trigonometric function like sin,tan because we can define Direction cosines of a line are coefficient of i,j,k of a unit vector along that line.
Q2.If l, m, n are the direction cosines of a line, then
Answer : Option DExplaination / Solution: we know that direction cosines is coefficient of i,j,k of unit vector along that line ,i.e those coefficient are l,m,n .the length of the line r is such that r→=liˆ+mjˆ+nkˆ and magnitute of unit vector r is 1 and .l2+m2+n2−−−−−−−−−−√ on squaring both side we get l2+m2+n2=1.
PQ−→−is a vector joining two points P(x1, y1, z1) and Q(x2, y2, z2).If ∣∣PQ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯∣∣=d,Direction cosines of PQ−→−are
Answer : Option AExplaination / Solution: since we know Direction cosines of a line are coefficient of i,j,k of a unit vector along that line,first find a vector PQ−→−=(x2−x1)iˆ+(y2−y1)jˆ+(z2−z1)kˆ then to convert it unit vector divide by its magnitute |PQ−→−| the coefficient of this unit vector will be x2−x1d,y2−y1d,z2−z1d
Q4.If l, m and n are the direction cosines of a line, Direction ratios of the line are the numbers which are
Answer : Option CExplaination / Solution:
If l, m and n are the direction cosines of a line, Direction ratios of the line are the numbers which are Proportional to the direction cosines of the line.
Q5.If l, m, n are the direction cosines and a, b, c are the direction ratios of a line then
Answer : Option DExplaination / Solution: using direction ratio a,b,c we got a vector r→=aiˆ+bjˆ+ckˆ along the line ,for direction cosine find unit vector rˆthen where l,m,n represent direction cosine
Answer : Option AExplaination / Solution:
Angle between skew lines is the angle between two intersecting lines drawn from any point parallel to each of the skew lines .
Q8.If l1,m1,n1 and l2,m2,n2 are the direction cosines of two lines; and θ is the acute angle between the two lines; then
Answer : Option AExplaination / Solution: If l1,m1,n1 and l2,m2,n2 are the direction cosines of two lines; and θ is the acute angle between the two lines; then the cosine of the angle between these two lines is given by : cosθ=|l1l2+m1m2+n1n2| .
Q9.If a1,b1,c1 and a2,b2,c2 are the direction ratios of two lines and θ is the acute angle between the two lines; then
Answer : Option AExplaination / Solution: If a1,b1,c1 and a2,b2,c2 are the direction ratios of two lines and θ is the acute angle between the two lines; then , the cosine of the angle between these two lines is given by :
