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

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

B

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

C

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

D

`pi//2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C


`vec(A)=vec(B)+vec(C)`
`cos alpha =(3)/(5) " " rArr " " alpha =53^(@)`
`alpha = cos^(-1)((3)/(5))`
