    Solution:

    Suppose that n=1

    Hence the equations become l+m=1and l2+m2=1

    Substitute m=1l in the equation  l2+m2=1and then solve for l

    It implies that l=1,0 and m=0,1

    Therefore, the direction ratios are 1,0,1,0,1,1

    If θ is the acute angle between two lines having direction ratios a1,b1,c1and a2,b2,c2

     then cosθ=a1a2+b1b2+c1c2a12+b12+c12a22+b22+c22

    Suppose that θ be the angle between the lines whose direction ratios are 1,0,1,0,1,1

    Then cosθ=122=12

    Therefore, the measure of angle θ is π3
