Solution

The correct option is A θ=cos1(1921)

Let θ be the angle between the given lines.

The given lines are parallel to the vector.

b1=1+2j+2k and b2=3i+2j+6k respectively.

So, the angle θ between them is given by

cosθ=b1.b2b1b1=(i+2j+2k)(3i+2j+6k)|i+2j+2k||3i+2j+6k|

=3+4+121+4+49+4+36=1921

θ=cos1(1921)
