Mark against the correct answer in each of the following:

The angle between the line and a normal to the plane x – y + z = 0 is


Given: Equation of line is


Equation of plane is x – y + z = 0


To find: Angle between a line and the normal to a plane.


Formula Used: If θ is the angle between two lines with direction ratios b1:b2:b3 and c1:c2:c3, then



Explanation:


Direction ratios of given line is 1 : 2 : 1


Direction ratios of the normal to the plane is 1 : -1 : 1


Therefore,



cos θ = 0


θ = 90°


Therefore angle between them is 90°
