In a methane (CH4) molecule each hydrogen atom is at a corner of a regular tetrahedron with the carbon atom at the centre. In coordinates where one of the C-H bonds is in the direction of i^+j^+k^, an adjacent C-H bond is in the i^j^k^ direction. Then angle between these two bonds.

a
cos-1(-23)
b
cos-1(23)
c
cos-1(-13)
d
cos-1(13)

detailed solution

Correct option is

cosθ  =  i^+j^+k^.(i^−j^−k^)3 = 1-1-13=-13
