[Orissa JEE 2003]

Options:

A) $ \frac{\pi }{2} $

B) $ \frac{\pi }{3} $

C) $ \frac{\pi }{4} $

D) $ \frac{\pi }{6} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

D.r?s of AB ΒΊ $ (1,,2,,-2) $ , D.r?s of $ CD\equiv (2,,3,,4) $ \ $ a_1a_2+b_1b_2+c_1c_2=0 $ ; \ $ \cos \theta =0 $
Þ $ \theta =\pi /2 $ .
