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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{2 \pi}{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(|\bar{a}+\bar{b}|^2 = |\bar{a}|^2 + |\bar{b}|^2 + 2|\bar{a}||\bar{b}|\cos\theta\) \(1^2 = 1^2 + 1^2 + 2(1)(1)\cos\theta\)
