Question:

The lines with direction cosines l1, m1, n1 and l2, m2,n are perpendicular to each other if-

 

 

Options:

l1.l2+ m1.m2+ n1.n2 = 1

l1.l2+ m1.m2+ n1.n2 = -1

l1.l2+ m1.m2+ n1.n2 = 0

l1.l2+ m1.m2+ n1.n2 = 1/2

Correct Answer:

l1.l2+ m1.m2+ n1.n2 = 0

Explanation:

The lines with direction cosines l1, m1, n1 and l2, m2,n are perpendicular to each other if

l1.l2+ m1.m2+ n1.n2 = 0
