CBSEENMA12034139

If straight theta is the angle between two vectors straight a with rightwards arrow on top space and space straight b with rightwards arrow on top, then straight a with rightwards arrow on top comma space straight b with rightwards arrow on top space greater or equal than space 0 only when 

  • 0 less than straight theta less than straight pi over 2
  • 0 less or equal than straight theta less or equal than straight pi over 2
  • 0 less than straight theta less than straight pi
  • 0 less or equal than straight theta less or equal than straight pi

Solution

B.

0 less or equal than straight theta less or equal than straight pi over 2 straight a with rightwards arrow on top. space straight b with rightwards arrow on top space greater or equal than space 0
only if open vertical bar straight a with rightwards arrow on top close vertical bar space open vertical bar straight b with rightwards arrow on top close vertical bar space cos space straight theta space greater or equal than space 0 comma space
i.e.  only if cos space straight theta space greater or equal than space space 0 comma
i.e., only if 0 less or equal than space straight theta space less or equal than space straight pi over 2.
(B) is correct answer.
