Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Given that a line passes through 
making an angle 
with positive direction of the 
-axis is :
Hence for point 
(as it is on 
-axis) and 
for point 
(as it is on 
-axis)
For points 
and 
Therefore 
and 
are in GP. So,
Thus, option is correct.
