Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\dfrac{2 \pi}{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(\vec{a} = \hat{i} - \hat{j}\) and \(\vec{b} = \hat{j} - \hat{k}\). The dot product is given by \(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = (1)(0) + (-1)(1) + (0)(-1) = -1\). The magnitudes are \(|\vec{a}| = \sqrt{1^2 + (-1)^2 + 0^2} = \sqrt{2}\) and…
