Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\left(0, \frac{-1}{\sqrt{2}}, \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, a line makes \(90^{\circ}, 135^{\circ}\) and \(45^{\circ}\) with the positive \(x, y\) and \(z\) axes respectively. Hence, it's direction cosines are \( \) \(=\left(0, \frac{-1}{\sqrt{2}}, \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)\)
