Q.

Let a,b¯ and c¯  be three unit vectors, out of which 

vectors band c  are non-parallel. If a and β are the

angles which vector a¯ makes with vectors b and c¯

respectively and a×(b×c)=12b, then |α-β| is 

equal to

Detailed Solution

Here, a×(b¯×c)=12b

  (a·c)b-(a·b)c¯=12b

Since, b and c¯ are non-parallel vectors.

  a·c=12 and a·b=0

Since a,b¯ 12and c are unit vectors.

  cosβ=1/2 and cosα=0

β=60° and α=90°|α-β|=30°
