  1. A \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, 0, \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, 0\)
  3. C \(0, \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(0, \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(C)
Vector parallel to bisector of angle between positive \(\mathrm{Y}\) and \(\mathrm{Z}\) direction. \(=\hat{\mathrm{j}}+\hat{\mathrm{k}}\) and its magnitude is \(\sqrt{1+1}=\sqrt{2}\)
\(\therefore\) Direction cosines \(=\left(0, \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)\)
