  1. A \(2 \sqrt{2}\)
  2. B \(\sqrt{2}\)
  3. C \(1\)
  4. D \(1+\sqrt{5}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\sqrt{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since the line is making equal angle \(\theta\) with the 3 co-ordinate axes. Hence \(\alpha=\beta=\gamma=\theta\) \[ \therefore l=m=n=\cos \theta \] We know that, \(l^2+m^2+n^2=1\)…
