In a quadrilateral `A B C D , vec A C` is the bisector of ` vec A Ba n d vec A D` , angle between ` vec A Ba n d vec A D` is `2pi//3` , `15| vec A C|=3| vec A B|=5| vec A D|dot` Then the angle between ` vec B Aa n d vec C D` is `(a) cos^(-1)(sqrt(14)/(7sqrt(2)))` b. `cos^(-1)(sqrt(21)/(7sqrt(3)))` c. `cos^(-1)(2/(sqrt(7)))` d. `cos^(-1)((2sqrt(7))/(14))`

A

`cos^(-1)""sqrt14/(7sqrt2)`

B

`cos^(-1)""sqrt21/(7sqrt3)`

C

`cos^(-1)""2/(sqrt7)`

D

`cos^(-1)""(2sqrt7)/14`

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c

Let `|vec(AC)|= lambda gt 0 `
Then from ` 15 |vec(AC)| = 3|vec(AB)|= 5 |vec(AD)| |vec(AB|= 5lambda`
Let `tehta` the angle between `vec(BA) and vec(CD)`. Then
` cos theta = (vec(BA).vec(CD))/(|vec(BA)||vec(CD)|) =- (-vecb. (vecd - vecc))/(|vecb||vecd - vecc|)` (i)
Now ` - vecb . (vecd-vecc) = vecv .vecc - vecb.vecd`
`|vecb||vecc| cos pi/3 - |vecb||vecd|cos (2pi)/3`
` (5 lambda) (lambda) 1/2 + (5lambda) (3lambda) 1/2`
` (5 lambda^(2) + 15 lambda^(2))/2`
`10 lambda^(2)`
Denominator of (i) = `|vecb||vecd-vecc|`
now `|vecd-vecc|^(2) = |vecd|^(2) + |vecc|^(2) -2vecc.vecd`
`10 lambda^(2) - 3lambda^(2)`
` 7 lambda^(2)`
Denominator of (i) = `(5 lambda) (sqrt7 lambda) = 5 sqrt7 lambda^(2)`
` cos theta = (10lambda^(2))/(5 sqrt7 lambda^(2))= 2/sqrt7`
