The correct Answer is:
To find the direction ratios of the vector \(\vec{a} = \hat{i} + \hat{j} - 2\hat{k}\), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Components of the Vector**: The vector \(\vec{a}\) can be expressed in terms of its components along the x, y, and z axes: \[ \vec{a} = 1\hat{i} + 1\hat{j} - 2\hat{k} \] Here, the coefficients of \(\hat{i}\), \(\hat{j}\), and \(\hat{k}\) represent the components of the vector. 2. **Extract the Direction Ratios**: The direction ratios of a vector are simply the coefficients of \(\hat{i}\), \(\hat{j}\), and \(\hat{k}\). From the expression above, we can identify: - The coefficient of \(\hat{i}\) (x-component) is \(1\). - The coefficient of \(\hat{j}\) (y-component) is \(1\). - The coefficient of \(\hat{k}\) (z-component) is \(-2\). 3. **Write the Direction Ratios**: Therefore, the direction ratios of the vector \(\vec{a}\) are: \[ \text{Direction Ratios} = (1, 1, -2) \] ### Final Answer: The direction ratios of the vector \(\vec{a} = \hat{i} + \hat{j} - 2\hat{k}\) are \(1, 1, -2\). ---
