We are given  l2+m2n2=0 and l+m+n=0 also we have  l2+m2+n2=1
So that   2n2=1   n=±12 and  l+m=n
   l+m2=n2=l2+m22lm=0
Either  l=0orm=0  if  l=0,m+n=0
     m=  n=±12
So the direction cosines of one of the lines are, 0,±12,±12 and if  m=0,l+n=0      l=n =±12  and the direction cosines of the other line are   ±12,0,±12.
Hence the required angle is  π3
