An angle between the lines whose direction cosines are given by the equations, \(l+ 3m + 5n\, = 0\) and \(5lm -2mn + 6nl = 0\) , is

  1. A \({\cos ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{1}{8}} \right)\)
  2. B \({\cos ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{1}{6}} \right)\)
  3. C \({\cos ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{1}{3}} \right)\)
  4. D \({\cos ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{1}{4}} \right)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \({\cos ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{1}{6}} \right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given \(l+3 m+5 n=0\) ....\((1)\) and \(5 l m-2 m n+6 n l=0\) .....\((2)\) From eq. \(( 1 )\) we have \(l=-3 m-5 n\) Put the value of \(l\) in eq. \((2),\) we get; \(5(-3 m-5 n) m-2 m n+6 n(-3 m-5 n)=0\) \(\Rightarrow 15 m^{2}+45 m n+30 n^{2}=0\)…
