    Two equal vectors have a resultant equal to either of the two. The angle between them is:

    A)  \[90{}^\circ \]  

    B)        \[60{}^\circ \]                   

    C)  \[120{}^\circ \]                

    D)        \[0{}^\circ \]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The resultant of the two vectors P and Q is \[R=\sqrt{{{P}^{2}}+{{Q}^{2}}+2PQ}\cos \theta \]                 Here,     \[R=P=Q\]                 So,          \[P=\sqrt{2{{P}^{2}}+2{{P}^{2}}\cos \theta }\]                 \[\therefore \]  \[{{P}^{2}}=2{{P}^{2}}+2{{P}^{2}}\cos \theta \]                 \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\cos \theta =-\frac{1}{2}\]                                 \[=\cos {{120}^{o}}\]                 Hence, \[\theta ={{120}^{o}}\]
