The angle between vector \((\overrightarrow{{A}})\) and \((\overrightarrow{{A}}-\overrightarrow{{B}})\) is :

Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{3} {B}}{2 {A}-{B}}\right)\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Angle between \(\overrightarrow{{A}}\) and \(\overrightarrow{{B}}, \theta=60^{\circ}\)
Angle betwenn \(\overrightarrow{{A}}\) and \(\overrightarrow{{A}}-\overrightarrow{{B}}\)
\(\tan \alpha=\frac{B \sin \theta}{A-B \cos \theta}\)
\(=\frac{B \sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}}{A-B \times \frac{1}{2} 2}\)
\(\tan \alpha=\frac{\sqrt{3} B}{2 A-B}\)
