The plane `2x-3y+6z-11=0` makes an angle `sin^(-1)(alpha)` with X-axis. The value of `alpha` is

A

`(sqrt(3))/(2)`

B

`(sqrt(2))/(3)`

C

`(2)/(7)`

D

`(3)/(7)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Since, the plane `2x-3y+6z-11=0` makes an angle `sin^(-1)(alpha)` with X-axis Therefore the firection ratio of X-axis is (1.0.0)
`:." "sin(sin^(-1)alpha)=|{:(hat(i)*(2hat(i)-3hat(i)+6hat(k)))/(sqrt(1^(2))sqrt(2^(2)+(-3)^(2)+6^(2))):}|`
`rArr" "alpha=(2)/(1sqrt(49))rArralpha=(2)/(7)`
