Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}}, \frac{1}{\sqrt{6}}, \frac{-2}{\sqrt{6}}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(\mathbf{a}=\hat{\mathbf{i}}+\hat{\mathbf{j}}-2 \hat{\mathbf{k}}\) Its direction ratios are \(1,1,-2\). Hence, its direction cosines are given by \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+1+4}}\),…
