    If\[A\times B=B\times A,\]then the angle between A and B is                                              [AIEEE 2004]

    A) \[\pi \]

    B) \[\pi /3\]

    C) \[\pi /2\]

    D) \[\pi /4\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] Given, \[(A\times B)=(B\times A)\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[(A\times B)-(B\times A)=0\]
    or \[(A\times B)+(A\times B)=0\]
    \[[\because (B\times A)=-(A\times B)]\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[2(A\times B)=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[2AB\sin \theta =0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[\sin \theta =0\]
    \[(\because |A|=A\ne 0,|B|=B\ne 0)\]
    \[\therefore \]      \[\theta =0\]or \[\pi \]
