  1. A 0
  2. B \(\frac{\pi}{6}\)
  3. C \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)
  4. D \(\pi\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We know that, if \(\alpha, \beta, \gamma\) are angles of a line which makes from the coordinate axes Also, \(\quad \cos ^2 \alpha+\cos ^2 \beta+\cos ^2 \gamma=1\) ...(i) But, given \(\alpha=\alpha, \beta=\frac{\pi}{2}-\alpha, \gamma=\beta\) From Eq. (i)…
