उत्तर

\[\text { If a line has direction ratios proportional to 2, - 1, and - 2, then its direction cosines are } \]

\[ \frac{2}{\sqrt{\left( 2 \right)^2 + \left( - 1 \right) + \left( - 2 \right)^2}}, \frac{- 1}{\sqrt{\left( 2 \right)^2 + \left( - 1 \right) + \left( - 2 \right)^2}}, \frac{- 2}{\sqrt{\left( 2 \right)^2 + \left( - 1 \right) + \left( - 2 \right)^2}} \]

\[ = \frac{2}{3}, - \frac{1}{3}, - \frac{2}{3}\]

\[\text { Thus, the direction cosines are } \frac{2}{3}, - \frac{1}{3}, - \frac{2}{3} .\]
