A

angle between `veca and vecb is pi//3`

B

angle between `veca and vecc is pi//3`

C

angle between `veca and vecb is pi//2`

D

angle between `veca and vecc is pi//2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b,c

`vecaxx (vecb xxvecc) = 1/2 vecb`
`or (veca.vecc) vecb - (veca .vecb) vecc= 1/2 vecb`
` Rightarrow veca.vecc = 1/2 and veca.vecb=0`
` Rightarrow 1.1 cos alpha = 1/2 and veca bot vecb`
` Rightarrow alpha= pi/3 and veca bot vecb`
