The angle between vec(A)-vec(B) and vec(...

The angle between `vec(A)-vec(B) and vec(A)xxvec(B)" " "is " (vec(A)ne vec(B))`

A

`60^@`

B

`90^@`

C

`120^@`

D

`45^@`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`vecA-vecB` lies on the same plane of `vecA and vecB` . Again , the direction of vector `vecAxxvecB` is along the perpendicular to `vecA-vecB`.
`therefore` The angle between `vecA-vecB and vecAxxvecB =90^@`
