Solution

The correct option is D $\frac{5 π}{6}$
Given, $| \to a | = 1,$ $| \to b | = 4$ and $\to a \cdot \to b = 2.$
$\Rightarrow | \to a \times \to b |^{2} = | \to a |^{2} | \to b |^{2} - (\to a \cdot \to b)^{2}$
$\Rightarrow | \to a \times \to b |^{2} = 16 - 4 = 12$

Now, $\to c = 2 \to a \times \to b - 3 \to b$
$\Rightarrow | \to c |^{2} = 4 | \to a \times \to b |^{2} + 9 | \to b |^{2}$
$\Rightarrow | \to c |^{2} = 4 \times 12 + 9 \times 16 = 192$

Let $θ$ be the angle between $\to b$ and $\to c .$
Then, $cos θ = \frac{\to b \cdot \to c}{| \to b | | \to c |}$
$\Rightarrow cos θ = \frac{- 48}{4 \times 8 \sqrt{3}} = - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
$\Rightarrow θ = \frac{5 π}{6}$
