Question

Let a be a vector parallel to the line of intersection of the planes P1 and P2. Plane P1 is parallel to the vectors 2^j+3^k and 4^j3^k. Plane P2 is parallel to the vectors ^j^k and 3^i+3^j. Then the angle between the vector a and a given vector 2^i+^j2^k can be

Solution

The correct option is D 3π4
Normal vector to P1 is,
n1=(2^j+3^k)×(4^j3^k)=18^i
Normal vector to P2 is,
n2=(^j^k)×(3^i+3^j)=3(^i^j^k)

Now, a is parallel to n1×n2.
So, angle between a and 2^i+^j2^k is same as angle between n1×n2 and 2^i+^j2^k.
n1×n2=54(^j+^k)

Let θ be the angle between n1×n2 and 2^i+^j2^k.
Then, cosθ=54(12)5429=12
θ=3π4
Angle depends upon the direction of a which is parallel to n1×n2.
If a is anti-parallel to n1×n2, then θ=π4
