Let ` vec a , vec b"and" vec c`be there unit vectors such that ` vec axx( vec bxx vec c)=(sqrt(3))/2( vec b+ vec c)`. If ` vec b`is not parallel to ` vec c`, then the angle between ` vec a"and" vec b`is:(1) `(3pi)/4`(2) `pi/2`(3) `(2pi)/3`(4) `(5pi)/6` |

Answer» Let angle between `veca` and `vecb` is `theta`. We are given, `veca xx (vecb xx vecc) = sqrt3/2(vecb+vecc)` `=>(veca*vecc)vecb - (veca*vecb)vecc = sqrt3/2(vecb+vecc)` `=>veca*vecc = sqrt3/2 and veca*vecb = -sqrt3/2` `=>|veca||vecb|costheta = -sqrt3/2` `=>1*1*costheta = -sqrt3/2` ...(As a and b are unit vectors) `=>theta = pi-pi/6` `=>theta = (5pi)/6` |
