Which of the following vector is equally inclined with the coordinate axes?

Which of the following vector is equally inclined with the coordinate axes?
  1. i^+2j^+3k^
  2. 2i^2j^+k^
  3. 3i^+3j^3k^
  4. 4i^+4j^+4k^

Solution

We know that a vector is equally inclined with the coordinate axes if its direction cosines are equal.

Now, let a=4i^+4j^+4k^

The direction ratios are a=4, b=4, c=4

And a=42+42+42=43

The direction cosines of a are aa, ba, ca

=13, 13, 13

Since the direction cosines are equal, the vector 4i^+4j^+4k^ is equally inclined with the coordinate axes.
