Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(120\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{array}{l}
2\left| {\vec P + \vec Q} \right| = \left| {\vec P + 2\vec Q} \right|\\
 \Rightarrow \,13 + 12\,\cos \,\theta  = 10 + 6\,\cos \theta \\
\cos  =  - \frac{1}{2}\\
\theta  = {120^ \circ }
\end{array}\)
