Questions  

The direction ratios of two lines are given byp,q,r  and  1qr,1rp,1pq. Ifis the angle between them such that 0α<π, then the value of  cosα+cos2α+cos3α+....+cospαcosqαcosrα=

a
pqr
b
p+q+r
c
p-q-r
d
None

detailed solution

Correct option is B

The direction rations of two lines are given as p,q,r  and  1qr,1rp,1pqMultiply the second set of direction rations with pqr, then the direction ratios arep,q,rIt implies that both lines are parallel. Henceα=0°Therefore, the required value is  1+1+1+....+p+q+r times=p+q+r
