Equation of the line passing through the point  12,0,1and making angles  90°,45°,45°with axes respectively is 

a
x−11=y−22=z−11
b
x−11=y+22=z−11
c
2x−10=y−01=z−11
d
line does not exist

detailed solution

Correct option is C

If  α,β,γare the angles made by a line ‘L’ with the coordinate axes in the positive direction then direction cosines are l,m,n=cosα,cosβ,cosγHence, the direction cosines of the line which makes angles  90°,45°,45°with axes respectively is  0,12,12The direction ratios of the above line are proportional to  0,1,1Therefore, the equation of the line passing through the point   12,0,1and having the direction ratios  0,1,1is  2x−10=y−01=z−11
