The direction cosines of the vector `3hati-4hatj+5hatk` areA. `(3)/(5),(-4)/(5),(1)/(5)`B. `(3)/(5sqrt(2)),(-4)/(5sqrt(2)),(1)/(sqrt(2))`C. `(3)/(sqrt(2)),(-4)/(sqrt(2)),(1)/(sqrt(2))`D. `(3)/(5sqrt(2)),(4)/(5sqrt(2)),(1)/(sqrt(2))`.

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`r=3hati-4hatj+5hatk`
`implies |r|=sqrt(3^(2)+(-4)^(2)+5^(2))=5sqrt(2)`
Hence, direction cosines are `(3)/(5sqrt(2)),(-4)/(5sqrt(2)),(5)/(5sqrt(2))`
i.e., `(3)/(5sqrt(2)),(-4)/(5sqrt(2)),(1)/(sqrt(2))`.
