If a line makes angles \(90^{\circ}, 60^{\circ}\) and \(\theta\) with x, y and z axis respectively, where \(\theta\) is acute, then value of \(\theta\) is :

  1. A \(\frac{\pi}{6}\)
  2. B \(\frac{\pi}{4}\)
  3. C \(\frac{\pi}{3}\)
  4. D \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{\pi}{6}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\cos^2 \alpha + \cos^2 \beta + \cos^2 \gamma = 1\) \(\cos^2 90^{\circ} + \cos^2 60^{\circ} + \cos^2 \theta = 1\) \(0^2 + \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2 + \cos^2 \theta = 1\) \(0 + \frac{1}{4} + \cos^2 \theta = 1\) \(\cos^2 \theta = 1 - \frac{1}{4}\) \(\cos^2 \theta = \frac{3}{4}\)…
