If \(\overrightarrow {A}= 2\hat i + 4\hat j- 5\hat k,\) then the direction cosines of the vector are:

(direction cosines (or directional cosines) of a vector are the cosines of the angles between the vector and the three \(+\)ve coordinate axes.)
1. \(\frac{2}{\sqrt{45}}, \frac{4}{\sqrt{45}}~\text{and}~\frac{-5}{\sqrt{45}}\)
2. \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{45}}, \frac{2}{\sqrt{45}}~\text{and}~\frac{3}{\sqrt{45}}\)
3. \(\frac{4}{\sqrt{45}}, 0~\text{and}~\frac{4}{\sqrt{45}}\)
4. \(\frac{3}{\sqrt{45}}, \frac{2}{\sqrt{45}}~\text{and}~\frac{5}{\sqrt{45}}\)
