If the direction cosines of two lines satisfy the equations \(l+m+n=0\) and \(2 l m+2 l n-m n=0\), then the acute angle between those two lines is

  1. A \(\frac{\pi}{4}\)
  2. B \(\frac{\pi}{3}\)
  3. C \(\frac{\pi}{6}\)
  4. D \(\frac{2 \pi}{5}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{\pi}{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \[ \begin{aligned} l+m+n=0 \text { and } 2 l m+2 l n-m n= & 0 \\ \therefore \quad 2(-m-n) m+2(-m-n) n-m n= & 0 \\ & {[\because l=-(m+n)] } \end{aligned} \]…
