The two vectors vec(A) and vec(B) are dr...

The two vectors `vec(A)` and `vec(B)` are drawn from a common point and `vec(C)=vec(A)+vec(B)` then angle between `vec(A)` and `vec(B)` is

A

`90^(@)` if `C^(2) ne A^(2)+B^(2)`

B

Greater than `90^(@)` if `C^(2) lt A^(2)+B^(2)`

C

Greater than `90^(@)` if `C^(2) gt A^(2)+B^(2)`

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`:' vec(C)=vec(A)+vec(B) :. C^(2)=A^(2)+B^(2)+2AB cos theta`
If `C^(2) lt A^(2) + B^(2)` then `cos theta lt 0`
Therefore `theta gt 90^(@)`
