उत्तर

The given direction ratios are a = 1, b = 2, c = 3

If a, b, c are the direction ratios of a vector then the direction cosines of the vector are

 l = `"b"/sqrt("a"^2 +"b"^2 + "c"^2)`

m = `"b"/sqrt("a"^2 + "b"^2 + "c"^2)`

c = `"c"/sqrt("a"^2 + "b"^2 +""^2)`

∴ The required direction cosines of thee vector are

`1/sqrt(1^2 + 2^2 + 3^2), 2/sqrt(1^2 + 2^2 + 3^2), 3/sqrt(1^2 + 2^2 + 3^2)`

`1/sqrt(1 + 4 + 9), 2/sqrt(1 + 4 + 9), 3/sqrt(1 + 4 + 9)`

`(1/sqrt(14), 2/sqrt(14), 3/sqrt(14))`
