Solution

The correct option is B cos1(229)
v1=ba=(33)^i+(1+2)^j+(51)^k=0^i+3^j+4^k v2=ca=(43)^i+(0+2)^j+(31)^k=^i+2^j+2^k v3=da=(13)^i+(0+2)^j+(01)^k=2^i+2^j^k


n1=v1×v2=∣ ∣ ∣^i^j^k034122∣ ∣ ∣
n1=(2)^i(04)^j+(03)^k
n1=2^i+4^j3^k

n2=v2×v3=∣ ∣ ∣^i^j^k122221∣ ∣ ∣
n2=(24)^i(1+4)^j+(2+4)^k
n2=6^i3^j+6^k=3(2^i+^j2^k)

cosθ=n1n2n1n2=4+4+6293=229
θ=cos1(229)
