CBSE Class 12 Mathematics 2026 Main Paper 65/2/3 · Question 20 (Three Dimensional Geometry)

Assertion: A line can have direction cosines (1,1,1). Reason: cos θ=1 is possible for θ=0.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: The assertion is false and the reason is true.
  1. The squares of a line’s direction cosines must sum to one, but here they sum to three. The stated cosine value is true.
