    What is the angle between the planes\[2x-y+z=6\] and\[x+y+2z=3\]?

    A) \[\pi /2\]

    B) \[\pi /3\]

    C) \[\pi /4\]

    D) \[\pi /6\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] We know, if \[{{a}_{1}}x+{{b}_{1}}y+{{c}_{1}}z={{d}_{1}}\] and \[{{a}_{2}}x+{{b}_{2}}y+{{c}_{2}}z={{d}_{2}}\] Are two planes then angle between them is \[\cos \theta =\frac{{{a}_{1}}{{a}_{2}}+{{b}_{1}}{{b}_{2}}+{{c}_{1}}{{c}_{2}}}{\sqrt{a_{1}^{2}+b_{1}^{2}+c_{1}^{2}}\sqrt{a_{2}^{2}+b_{2}^{2}+c_{2}^{2}}}\] Let q be the angle between given planes Here, \[{{a}_{1}}=2,{{b}_{1}}=-1,{{c}_{1}}=1;{{a}_{2}}=1,{{b}_{2}}=1,{{c}_{2}}=2\] \[\therefore \cos q=\frac{2\times 1+1\times (-1)+1\times 2}{\sqrt{4+1+1}\sqrt{1+1+4}}=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}=\cos \frac{\pi }{3}\] \[\Rightarrow \theta =\frac{\pi }{3}\]
