The angle between two vectros vecaandvec...

The angle between two vectros `vecaandvecb` with magnitudes `sqrt3` and 4, respectively and `veca.vecb=2sqrt3` is

A

`(pi)/(6)`

B

`(pi)/(3)`

C

`(pi)/(2)`

D

`(5pi)/(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Here, `|veca|=sqrt3,|vecb|=4andveca.vecb=2sqrt3" "[given]`
We know that, `veca.vecb=|veca||vecb|costheta`
`implies2sqrt3=sqrt(3).4.costheta`
`impliescostheta=(2sqrt3)/(4sqrt3)=(1)/(2)`
`:.theta=(pi)/(3)`
