A line inclined at 40 degrees to the horizontal plane can be inclined to the vertical plane by at most

  • A.50 degrees
  • B.40 degrees
  • C.90 degrees
  • D.140 degrees

Answer: A

Correct answer: 50 degrees

For any line the two true inclinations satisfy \( \theta + \phi \le 90^\circ \), the sum reaching ninety only when the line lies in a profile plane. With 40 degrees to the horizontal plane, the greatest possible inclination to the vertical plane is \( 90 - 40 = 50 \) degrees. A pair summing to more than ninety describes no line at all.
