If two vectors are equal and their resultant is also equal to one of them, then the angle between the two vectors is

A

`60^(@)`

B

`120^(@)`

C

`90^(@)`

D

`0^(@)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
(b) We have ,`R=A=B`
`:.R^(2)=R^(2)+R^(2)+2R Rcostheta`
`"or "costheta=-(1)/(2)`
`:.theta=120^(@)`
