What is the angle between two vectors `vec P =2hati +3hatj +hatk and vec Q =-3hati +6hatk`.

A

`0^(@)`

B

`45^(@)`

C

`60^(@)`

D

`90^(@)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

`cos theta = (vec P cdot vec Q)/(PQ)`
`vec P cdot vec Q = P_(x) Q_(x) + P_(y) O_(y) + P_(z) Q_(z)`
`=[2xx (-3) +3xx0+1xx6]=-6+6=0`
`therefore cos theta =(0)/(PQ) =0" "therefore theta =90^(@)`
