Final Answer:   \pm \sqrt{3}

Hint:

Use property of direction cosine.

Given:

Direction cosine of line   (l, m, n)=\left(\frac{1}{c}, \frac{1}{c}, \frac{1}{c}\right)

To Find: 

Value of c

Solution:

(l, m, n)=\left(\frac{1}{c}, \frac{1}{c}, \frac{1}{c}\right)\\\\ Now \; \; as\; \; l^{2}+m^{2}+n^{2}=1\\\\ \left(\frac{1}{c}\right)^{2}+\left(\frac{1}{c}\right)^{2}+\left(\frac{1}{c}\right)^{2}=1

\begin{aligned} &\frac{3}{c^{2}}=1 \\\\ &c^{2}=3 \\\\ &c=\pm \sqrt{3} \end{aligned}

Therefore the value of c is \pm \sqrt{3}
