If vectors vecP,vecQ and vecR have magni...

If vectors `vecP,vecQ` and `vecR` have magnitude 5,12 and 13 units and `vecP+vecQ=vecR`, the angle between `vecQ` and `vecR` is :

A

`cos^(-1)((5)/(12))`

B

`cos^(-1)((5)/(13))`

C

`cos^(-1)((12)/(13))`

D

`cos^(-1)((2)/(13))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
3
`vecP + vecQ = vecR and P^(2) + Q^(2) = R^(2)`

`cos theta = (12)/(13) rArr theta = cos^(-1)((12)/(13))`
