The non-zero vectors a,b and c are related by a=8b and c=-7b angle between a and c is

A

0

B

`pi//4`

C

`pi//2`

D

`pi`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
We have, `vec(a)=8vec(b) and vec(c ) = -7 vec(b)`
`rArr vec(a) =(-8to)/(7) c`
`rArr vec(a) and vec(c ) ` are unlike parallel vectors.
`rArr " Angle between " vec(a) and vec(c ) " is " pi.`
