Let \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{b}\) be two unit vectors. If the vectors \(\vec{c}=5 \vec{a}-4 \vec{b}\) and \(\vec{d}=\vec{a}+2 \vec{b}\) are perpendicular to each other, then the angle between \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{b}\) is :

  1. A 0
  2. B \(\frac{\pi}{3}\)
  3. C \(\frac{\pi}{4}\)
  4. D \(\frac{\pi}{6}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{\pi}{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \vec{c} \cdot \vec{d} = 0 \) \( (5 \vec{a}-4 \vec{b}) \cdot (\vec{a}+2 \vec{b}) = 0 \) \( 5|\vec{a}|^2 + 10(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}) - 4(\vec{b} \cdot \vec{a}) - 8|\vec{b}|^2 = 0 \) \( 5(1)^2 + 6(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}) - 8(1)^2 = 0 \) \( 5 + 6(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}) - 8 = 0 \)…
