JEE Main & Advanced Mathematics Vector Algebra Question Bank Mock Test - Vector Algebra

  • question_answer
    If \[\hat{a},\,\,\hat{b}\] and \[\hat{c}\] are three unit vectors inclined to each other at an angle \[\theta \], then the maximum value of \[\theta \] is

    A) \[\frac{\pi }{3}\]            

    B) \[\frac{\pi }{2}\]

    C) \[\frac{2\pi }{3}\]          

    D) \[\frac{5\pi }{6}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] \[{{(\hat{a}+\hat{b}+\hat{c})}^{2}}\ge 0\] \[3+2(\hat{a}.\hat{b}+\vec{b}.\hat{c}+\vec{c}.\vec{a})\ge 0\] \[3+6\cos \theta \ge 0\] \[\cos \theta \ge -\frac{1}{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \theta =\frac{2\pi }{3}\]
