A line makes an angle of π3with the positive direction of x-axis and an angle of π4with the positive direction of z-axis. Then the angle that the line makes with the positive direction of y-axis, is

a
π4
b
π6
c
π3
d
π2

detailed solution

Correct option is A

If α,β,γ are the angles made by a line ‘L’ with the coordinate axes in the positive direction then cos2α+cos2β+cos2γ=1Given α=π3,γ=π4Hence,  14+cos2β+12=1⇒cosβ=12Therefore, β=π4
