If vectors vecP, vecQ and vecR have magn...

If vectors `vecP, vecQ and vecR` have magnitudes 5, 12 and 13 units and `vecP + vecQ = vecR`, the angle between `vecQ and vecR` is :

A

`Cos^(-1)((5)/(12))`

B

`Cos^(-1)((5)/(13))`

C

`Cos^(-1)((12)/(13))`

D

`Cos^(-1)((2)/(13))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`vecP+vecQ=vecR` and `P^(2)+Q^(2)=R^(2)`

`cos theta=(12)/(13)rArrtheta=cos^(-1)((12)/(13))`
