Three-Dimensional Geometry · Question 11 of 120

Question 11

MediumOriginal question

Read the two statements and choose the correct option.

I. A line has infinitely many sets of direction ratios but only two sets of direction cosines.

II. If l,m,nl, m, n are direction cosines, then l+m+n=1l + m + n = 1.

CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

Explanation

  1. I: any non-zero multiple of the ratios is again a set of ratios; the cosines are fixed up to the sign of the direction. True.

  2. II: it is l2+m2+n2=1l^{2} + m^{2} + n^{2} = 1; for the xx-axis reversed, −1+0+0≠1-1 + 0 + 0 \ne 1. False.
