If `veca and vecb` are two vectors, such that `veca.vecblt0 and |veca.vecb|=|vecaxxvecb|` then the angle between angles between the vectors `veca and vecb` is

A

`pi`

B

`7pi//4`

C

`pi//4`

D

`3pi//4`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d

`|veca.vecb|=|vecaxxvecb|`
`Rightarrow|veca||vecb||costheta|=|veca||vecb||sin theta|`
(where,`theta` is the angle between `veca and vecb`)
`Rightarrow |costheta|= |sintheta|`
`Rightarrow theta= pi/4 or (3pi)/4(as 0 le thetalepi)`
But `veca.vecb lt 0`, therefore, `theta= (3pi)/4`
