The position vectors of vertices of a De...

The position vectors of vertices of a `DeltaABC` are `4hati - 2 hatj , hati + 4hatj - 3hatk` and `-hati + 5hatj + hatk` respectively , then `angleABC` is equal to

A

`(pi)/(6)`

B

`(pi)/(4)`

C

`(pi)/(3)`

D

`(pi)/(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Here , `vec(AB) = - 3hati + 6hatj - 3hatk , vec(BC) = - 2hati + hatj + 4 hatk `
and `vec(AB ) * vec(BC) = 6 + 6 - 12 = 0`
`implies angle ABC = (pi)/(2)`
