Solution

The correct option is B $\frac{5 π}{6}$
We have
$\to a \times (\to b \times \to c) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} (\to b + \to c)$
$(\to a . \to c) \to b - (\to a . \to b) \to c = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \to b + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \to c$
We know that
$∵ ∣ ∣ \to a ∣ ∣ = ∣ ∣ ∣ \to b ∣ ∣ ∣ = ∣ ∣ \to c ∣ ∣ = 1$
$∴ \to a . \to b = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
$\Rightarrow cos θ = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
$∴ θ = \frac{5 π}{6}$
Hence, the option $C$ is the correct answer.

Let →a,→b and →c be three unit vectors such that →a×(→b×→c)=√32(→b+→c) is not parallel for the angle between →a and →b is

The correct option is B 5π6We have→a×(→b×→c)=√32(→b+→c)(→a.→c)→b−(→a.→b)→c=√32→b+√32→cWe know that ∵∣∣→a∣∣=∣∣∣→b∣∣∣=∣∣→c∣∣=1∴→a.→b=√32⇒cosθ=√32∴θ=5π6Hence, the option C is the correct answer.
