    A straight line which makes an angle of \[{{60}^{o}}\] with each of \[y\]and \[z-\]axes, this line makes with \[x-\]axis at an angle

    A) \[{{30}^{o}}\]                                    

    B)         \[{{60}^{o}}\]                   

    C)         \[{{75}^{o}}\]                                   

    D)         \[{{45}^{o}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Clearly,   \[{{\cos }^{2}}\alpha +{{\cos }^{2}}{{60}^{o}}+{{\cos }^{2}}{{60}^{o}}=1,\] where \[\alpha \] is the angle which the straight line makes with \[x-\]axis, \[\therefore \]  \[{{\cos }^{2}}\alpha =1-\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\cos \alpha =\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\alpha ={{45}^{o}}\]
