It is given that a×(b×c)=12b

Note: a×(b×c)=(ac)b(ab)c

 12b=(ac)b(ab)c

 ac12b(ab)c=0        ....(i)

Since b and c are non-parallel, therefore for the existence of relation (i), the coeff. of band c should vanish separately. Therefore, we get 

ac12=0 i.e., ac=12 and ab=0

Since a,b,c are the unit vectors therefore

ac=12θ=π3cos1 12=θ
