If `vec(A)=vec(B)+vec(C )`, and the magnitudes of `vec(A)`,`vec(B)`,`vec(C )` are 5,4, and 3 units, then the angle between `vec(A)` and `vec(C )` is

A

`cos^(-1)(3//5)`

B

`cos^(-1)(4//5)`

C

`sin^(-1)(3//4)`

D

`pi//2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Angle between `vec(B)` and `vec(C ) is 90^(@)`
`tan alpha = (B)/(C ) = (4)/(3)`
`sin alpha = (4)/(5)`
`cos alpha = (3)/(5) rArr alpha = cos ^(-1)((3)/(5))`
