Detailed Solution

Given a=cxi^6j^+3k^   and   b=xi^+2j^+2cxk^
 a¯ and  b¯ makes an obtuse angle with each other
cos θ=ab|a||b|<0 i.e., cx212+6cxc2x2+36+9x2+4+4c2x2<0cx2+6cx12<0

Now, two cases are possible
Case I    c0
cx2+6cx12is a equation  which has real solution

 "iff a<0 and b24ac<0 "   i.e., if c<0 and 36c2+48<0 i.e., if c<0 and 12c(3c+4)<0     3c+4>0    [c>0]    43<c<0     (ii) 
Case II    c=0
12<0  which is an identity
 c = 0 satisfy Eq (i)
 From Eqs (ii) and (iii), we get 43<c0
