Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

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

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(l+m+n=0, \quad \Rightarrow \quad l=-m-n\) and \(l^2+m^2-n^2=0\) \(\begin{aligned} & \therefore \quad(-m-n)^2+m^2-n^2=0 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad 2 m^2+2 m n=0 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad 2 m(m+n)=0 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad m=0 \text { or } m+n=0 \\ & \end{aligned}\) If \(m=0\),…
