Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} & \text { Given, } x \cos \theta=y \cos \left(\theta+\frac{2 \pi}{3}\right) \\ & z \cos \left(\theta+\frac{4 \pi}{3}\right)=\lambda \text { (say) } \\ & \Rightarrow \cos \theta=\frac{\lambda}{x}, \cos \left(\theta+\frac{2 \pi}{3}\right)=\frac{\lambda}{y}, \cos…
