If  O is the origin and the line OP of length r makes an angle α  with x- axis and lies in the xz- plane, then the coordinates of P are

a
0,0,rsinα
b
cosα,0,0
c
rcosα,rsinα,0
d
rcosα,0,rsinα

detailed solution

Correct option is D

If a P point lines on the xz-plane then the coordinates of the point  P can be taken asx,0,zGiven the angle made by the line with  x-axis is  and the α angle made by the same line with z- axis is  90°−α Therefore, the coordinates of the point Prcosα,0,rsinα
