Detailed Solution

Given l+m+n=0 …(i)
and  lm=0
i.e.,either m=0 or  l=0
If  l=0 , then putting in equation (i) we get m=-n
  Direction ratios are 0,-n,n i.e.0,-1,1
If m=0, then putting in equation(i),we get l=n
  Direction ratios are –n,0,n i.e.-1,0,1
 cosθ=0×(1)+(1)×0+1×1(0)2+(1)2+(1)2(1)2+(0)2+(1)2=12
