If the length of a vector be 21 and direction ratios be 2, – 3, 6 then its direction cosines are

A

221,17,27\frac { 2 } { 21 } , \frac { - 1 } { 7 } , \frac { 2 } { 7 }

B

27,37,67\frac { 2 } { 7 } , \frac { - 3 } { 7 } , \frac { 6 } { 7 }

C

27,37,67\frac { 2 } { 7 } , \frac { 3 } { 7 } , \frac { 6 } { 7 }

D

None of these

Answer

27,37,67\frac { 2 } { 7 } , \frac { - 3 } { 7 } , \frac { 6 } { 7 }

Explanation

Solution

D.c.'s are 222+(3)2+62,349\frac { 2 } { \sqrt { 2 ^ { 2 } + ( - 3 ) ^ { 2 } + 6 ^ { 2 } } } , \frac { - 3 } { \sqrt { 49 } } and 649\frac { 6 } { \sqrt { 49 } } or 27,37,67\frac { 2 } { 7 } , \frac { - 3 } { 7 } , \frac { 6 } { 7 }.
