If \(\hat a,\,\hat b\) and \(\hat c\) are unit vectors satisfying \(\hat a\, - \,\sqrt 3 \hat b + \hat c\, = \,\vec 0,\) then the angle between the  vectors \(\hat a\) and \(\hat c\) is 

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

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

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let angle between \(\hat{a}\) and \(\hat{c}\) be \(\theta\) Now, \(\hat{a}-\sqrt{3} \hat{b}+\hat{c}=\overrightarrow{0}\) \(\Rightarrow(\hat{a}+\hat{c})=\sqrt{3} \hat{b}\) \(\Rightarrow(\hat{a}+\hat{c}) \cdot(\hat{a}+\hat{c})=3(\hat{b} \cdot \hat{b})\)…
