Detailed Solution

Two vectors A→ and B→ are orthogonal to each other, if  their scalar product is zero i.e. A→·B→=0 .  Here, A→=cosωti^+sinωtj^  and   B→=cosωt2i^+sinωt2j^∴A→·B→=(cosωti^+sinωtj^)·cosωt2i^+sinωt2j^=cosωtcosωt2+sinωtsinωt2(∵i^·i^=j^·j^=1 and i^·j^=j^·i^=0)=cosωt-ωt2(∵cos(A-B)=cosAcosB+sinAsinB) But A→·B→=0 (as A→ and B→ are orthogonal to each other) ∴  cosωt-ωt2=0cosωt-ωt2=cosπ2 or ωt-ωt2=π2ωt2=π2 or t=πω
