Solution

The correct option is A

60°


Finding the angle between the vectors :

A×B=3(AB)

ABsinθ=3ABcosθ

Cancelling both sides we get

sinθ=3cosθ

sinθcosθ=3tanθ=3

Hence θ=60°

Hence the angle between A and B is 60°

So option(A) is the correct answer and all other options are incorrect answers .
