    Solution:

    Let unit vector r have (r1,r2,r3​) components.
    r=r1î+r2ĵ+r3ẑ
    Since a is a unit vector, ∣r∣=1.

    Also, makes angleπ3  with  î̂,π4with ĵ̂ andθ0,πwith k̂

    Then, we have:
    cosθ=r1r⃑
    cosπ3=r11
    12=r1
    cosθ=r2r⃑
    cosπ4=r21
    12=r2
    cosθ=r3r⃑
    cosθ=r31
    cosθ=r3
    ∣r∣=1
    r12+r22+r32=1
    122+122+coscos θ 2=1
    14+12+coscos θ 2=1
    1+24+coscos θ 2=1
    34+coscos θ 2=1
    Taking square root on both the sides
    34+coscos θ 2=12
    coscos θ 2=1-34
    coscos θ 2=4-34
    coscos θ 2=14
    cosθ=14=12
    But cos 600=12
    θ=600=π3
