If space straight A with rightwards arrow on top space straight x space straight B with rightwards arrow on top space equals space straight B with rightwards arrow on top space straight x space straight A with rightwards arrow on top then the angle between A and B isπ
  • π

  • π/3

  • π/2

  • π/4

Solution

A.

π

open parentheses straight A with rightwards arrow on top space straight x space straight B with rightwards arrow on top close parentheses space equals space left parenthesis straight B with rightwards arrow on top space straight x straight A with rightwards arrow on top right parenthesis
rightwards double arrow space open parentheses straight A with rightwards arrow on top space straight x space straight B with rightwards arrow on top close parentheses minus space left parenthesis straight B with rightwards arrow on top space straight x straight A with rightwards arrow on top right parenthesis space equals space 0
rightwards double arrow space open parentheses straight A with rightwards arrow on top space straight x space straight B with rightwards arrow on top close parentheses plus space left parenthesis straight B with rightwards arrow on top space straight x straight A with rightwards arrow on top right parenthesis space equals space 0
open square brackets therefore space left parenthesis straight B with rightwards arrow on top space straight x space straight A with rightwards arrow on top right parenthesis space equals space minus space left parenthesis straight A with rightwards arrow on top space straight x space straight B with rightwards arrow on top right parenthesis close square brackets
2 space open parentheses straight A with rightwards arrow on top space straight x space straight B with rightwards arrow on top close parentheses space equals 0
rightwards double arrow space space 2 AB space sin space straight theta space equals space 0
sin space straight theta space equals space 0 space space left square bracket space because space vertical line straight A with rightwards arrow on top vertical line space equals space straight A space not equal to 0 comma space vertical line straight B with rightwards arrow on top vertical line space equals space straight B not equal to space 0 right square bracket
straight theta space equals space 0 space or space straight pi space
