Three Dimensional Geometry Question 397

Question: If the direction consines of a line are $ ( \frac{1}{c},\frac{1}{c},\frac{1}{c} ) $ then

Options:

A) $ 0<c<1 $

B) $ c>2 $

C) $ c>0 $

D) $ c=\pm \sqrt{3} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

[d] Since d. c. of line are $ { \frac{1}{c},\frac{1}{c},\frac{1}{c} } $
$ \therefore \frac{1}{c^{2}}+\frac{1}{c^{2}}+\frac{1}{c^{2}}=1\Rightarrow c^{2}=3\Rightarrow c=\pm \sqrt{3} $
