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

A

`pi`

B

`0`

C

`pi/4`

D

`pi/2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Since, `a=8b and c=-7b`
So, a is parallel to b and c is anti-parallel to b.
`implies a and c` are anti-parallel.
so, the angle between a and c is `pi`.
