Solution

The correct option is C
We know that the angle between two planes is the angle between its normals.

Let the equation of one plane be r. n1=k1 and the another plane be r. n2=k2

So the angle between these normals will be -

cos=n1.n2n1.n2

In the equation of a plane in cartesian form we know that the coefficients of x,y & z give us the direction ratios of the normal vector.

So, for the first plane

n1=a1i+b1j+c1k

Similarly for the second plane the normal vector n2=a2i+b2j+c2k

cosθ=a1a2+b1b2+c1c2(a21+b21+c21)(a22+b22+c22)
