Each of the angles and that a given line makes with the positive y- and z-axes, respectively, is half of the angle that this line makes with the positive x-axis. Then the sum of all possible values of the angle is

  1. 2
  2. 3 4
  3. 3 2

Answer

(3) 3 4

Solution

Let the angle with the x-axis be ; then = = 2, 0 .

2 + 2 + 2 = 1

2 + 2 2 2 = 1

2 + 1 + = 1

( + 1) = 0

= 0 or = -1

= 2 or =

= 4 or = 2 (both valid)

sum of possible values of = 4 + 2 = 3 4

Answer: (3)
