What is the angle between two planes `2x-y+z=4 and x+y+2z=6`?

A

`pi/2`

B

`pi/3`

C

`pi/4`

D

`pi/6`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Given equations of two planes are `2x-y+z=4and x+y+2z=6`
So, angle between them is
`cos theta=(2(1)+(-1)(1)+(1)(2))/(sqrt(4+1+1)sqrt(4+1+1))`
`=(2-1+2)/(sqrt6sqrt6)=3/6=1/2`
`rArr theta=pi/3`
