Detailed Solution

l+m+n=0l=-m-n

l2-5m2+n2=0-m-n2-5m2+n2=0m2+n2+2mn-5m2+n2=0

-4m2+2n2+2mn=02m2-n2-mn=0m-n2m+n=0m=n or m=-n/2

If m=n then l=-n-n=-2nl:m:n=-2n:n:n=-2:1:1

If m=-n/2 then l=n/2-n=-n/2l : m : n=-n/2:-n/2 :n=1 :1 :-2

If θ is the angle between the lines then cos θ=-21+11+1-24+1+11+1+4=36=12θ=π3.
