Solution

The correct option is A cos1(13)
Two diagonals of parallelogram are respectively a+b and ab
Angle between them, is
cosθ=(a+b)(ab)|a+b||ab|
As from the given data, we get
a+b=3^i+0^j+0^k,then|a+b|=3
ab=^i+2^j+2^k,then|ab|=3
and (a+b)(ab)=3
On putting that value in above formula, we get
cosθ=33×3=13
So the angle between two diagonals θ=cos1(13)
