Q.

For a triangle ABC, let and . If and , where is the angle between and , then is equal to:

  1. A

    340

  2. B

    220

  3. C

    410

  4. D

    200

Solution

The vectors close the triangle: , so .

Find via the cosine rule (the angle at C between and enters as the angle between them when both originate from a common point; using the given directly): .

Simplify the cross product using : . Then (since ).

, so .

Total: .
