Solution

The correct option is D 19543
sin(pq)=1.
the angle between p and q is 90o

Thus, their dot product becomes 0.
6|a|27a.b5|b|2=0.

Similarly, |a|23a.b+4|b|2=0.

Let us divide both the above equations by |b|2, and take ab=x
Equations thus become 6x27xcosθ5=0 and x23xcosθ+4=0.

Equating the two values of cosθ, we get
6x257x=x2+43x
Solving, we have x=435 and substituting back in either equation, we get cosθ as 19543
