If theta is the angle between two vector...

If `theta` is the angle between two vectors ` vec a\ a n d\ vec b ,\ t h e n\ vec adot vec bgeq0` only when `0

A

`0lt theta lt (pi)/(2)`

B

`0 le theta le (pi)/(2)`

C

`0 lt theta lt pi`

D

`0 le theta le pi`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

It is given that, `vec(a) . vec(b) ge 0`
We know that, `vec(a). vec(b) = | vec(a)||vec(b)|cos theta ge 0`
`implies cos theta ge 0 implies 0letheta le (pi)/(2)`
