Solution

The correct options are
A $\frac{π}{6}$
D $\frac{5 π}{6}$
$\to a \times (\to a \times \to c) + \to b = 0$
$∴ \to b = - \to a \times (\to a \times \to c)$
$= (\to a \times \to c) \times \to (a)$
$\Rightarrow \to a \times \to c + \to a$
$\Rightarrow ∣ ∣ ∣ \to b ∣ ∣ ∣ = ∣ ∣ \to a \times \to c ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ \to a ∣ ∣$
$\Rightarrow 1 = 1 \times 2 sin θ \times 1 = 2 sin θ$
$∴ sin θ = \frac{1}{2}, θ = \frac{π}{6}, \frac{5 π}{6}$
