If \(0 \equiv(0,0,0), \mathrm{P} \equiv(1, \sqrt{2}, 1)\), then the acute angles made by the line OP with XOY,
YOZ, ZOX planes are, respectively

  1. A \(45^{\circ}, 45^{\circ}, 60^{\circ}\)
  2. B \(45^{\circ}, 60^{\circ}, 30^{\circ}\)
  3. C \(60^{\circ}, 45^{\circ}, 60^{\circ}\)
  4. D \(30^{\circ}, 30^{\circ}, 45^{\circ}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(30^{\circ}, 30^{\circ}, 45^{\circ}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Direction ratios of line OP are \(1, \sqrt{2}, 1\).
Hence direction cosines of line OP are
\(\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+2+1}}, \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{1+2+1}}, \frac{1}{\sqrt{1+2+1}}=\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, \frac{1}{2}\)
Hence angles made with given planes are \(60^{\circ}, 45^{\circ}, 60^{\circ}\)
