Answer:

Correct Answer: 1. (a)

Solution:

  1. We know that, angle between two lines is

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

l+m+n+q=0

l=(m+n)(m+n)2=l2

m2+n2+2mn=m2+n2[l2=m2+n2, given ]

2mn=0

 When m=0

l=n

Hence, (l,m,n) is (1,0,1).

When n=0, then l=m

Hence, (l,m,n) is (1,0,1).

cosθ=1+0+02×2=12θ=π3
