The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze both statements and verify their correctness step by step. ### Step 1: Analyzing Statement 1 **Statement 1**: If a line makes an angle of \(\frac{\pi}{4}\) with the x-axis and \(\frac{\pi}{4}\) with the y-axis, then it must be perpendicular to the z-axis. 1. Let the direction ratios of the line be \(L\), \(M\), and \(N\). 2. The direction cosines of the angles made with the axes are: - \(L = \cos(\alpha)\) - \(M = \cos(\beta)\) - \(N = \cos(\gamma)\) 3. Given that \(\alpha = \frac{\pi}{4}\) and \(\beta = \frac{\pi}{4}\): - \(L = \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\) - \(M = \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\) 4. According to the formula for direction cosines: \[ L^2 + M^2 + N^2 = 1 \] 5. Substituting the values of \(L\) and \(M\): \[ \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^2 + N^2 = 1 \] \[ \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} + N^2 = 1 \] \[ 1 + N^2 = 1 \] \[ N^2 = 0 \implies N = 0 \] 6. Since \(N = 0\), it indicates that the line is perpendicular to the z-axis. **Conclusion for Statement 1**: True. ### Step 2: Analyzing Statement 2 **Statement 2**: If the direction ratios of two lines are \(l_1, m_1, n_1\) and \(l_2, m_2, n_2\), then the angle \(\theta\) between them is given by: \[ \theta = \cos^{-1}(l_1 l_2 + m_1 m_2 + n_1 n_2) \] 1. The angle between two lines can be calculated using the formula: \[ \cos(\theta) = \frac{l_1 l_2 + m_1 m_2 + n_1 n_2}{\sqrt{l_1^2 + m_1^2 + n_1^2} \sqrt{l_2^2 + m_2^2 + n_2^2}} \] 2. Rearranging gives: \[ \theta = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{l_1 l_2 + m_1 m_2 + n_1 n_2}{\sqrt{l_1^2 + m_1^2 + n_1^2} \sqrt{l_2^2 + m_2^2 + n_2^2}}\right) \] 3. The statement provided does not include the normalization by the magnitudes of the direction ratios, thus it is not entirely accurate. **Conclusion for Statement 2**: True, but it is incomplete as it lacks the normalization factor. ### Final Conclusion - **Statement 1** is true. - **Statement 2** is true but does not provide a complete explanation for the angle between two lines. ### Answer The correct option is: Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true but Statement 2 is not the correct explanation of Statement 1. ---
