उत्तर

Let OP lie in XY - plane so that ∠XOP = 30°, ∠POY = 60° and ∠POZ = 90° 

∴ The direction cosines of OP are

< cos 30°, cos 60°, cos 90°>

i.e., `< sqrt3/2, 1/2, 0>`

∴ `vec(OP) = sqrt3/2 hati + 1/2 hatj`

Now,

`|vec(OP) = sqrt((sqrt3/2)^2 + (1/2)^2)|`

`= sqrt(3/4 + 1/4)`

`= sqrt1`

= 1

Hence the required vectors is `sqrt3/2 hati + 1/2 hatj`
