\(\begin{aligned} 3 \overline{\mathrm{a}}+5 \overline{\mathrm{~b}} & =3(\hat{\mathrm{i}}-2 \hat{\mathrm{j}}+3 \hat{\mathrm{k}})+5(2 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+3 \hat{\mathrm{j}}-\hat{\mathrm{k}}) \\ & =13 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+9 \hat{\mathrm{j}}+4 \hat{\mathrm{k}}\end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned} 5 \overline{\mathrm{a}}+3 \overline{\mathrm{~b}} & =5(\hat{\mathrm{i}}-2 \hat{\mathrm{j}}+3 \hat{\mathrm{k}})+3(2 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+3 \hat{\mathrm{j}}-\hat{\mathrm{k}}) \\ & =11 \hat{\mathrm{i}}-\hat{\mathrm{j}}+12 \hat{\mathrm{k}}\end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned} \therefore \quad \cos \theta & =\frac{(13 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+9 \hat{\mathrm{j}}+4 \hat{\mathrm{k}}) \cdot(11 \hat{\mathrm{i}}-\hat{\mathrm{j}}+12 \hat{\mathrm{k}})}{\sqrt{169+81+16} \sqrt{121+1+144}} \\ & =\frac{13(11)+9(-1)+1(12)}{\sqrt{266} \sqrt{266}}\end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned} & =\frac{143-9+48}{266} \\ & =\frac{182}{266} \\ & =\frac{13}{19} \\ \therefore \quad \theta & =\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{13}{19}\right)\end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned} 5 \overline{\mathrm{a}}+3 \overline{\mathrm{~b}} & =5(\hat{\mathrm{i}}-2 \hat{\mathrm{j}}+3 \hat{\mathrm{k}})+3(2 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+3 \hat{\mathrm{j}}-\hat{\mathrm{k}}) \\ & =11 \hat{\mathrm{i}}-\hat{\mathrm{j}}+12 \hat{\mathrm{k}}\end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned} \therefore \quad \cos \theta & =\frac{(13 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+9 \hat{\mathrm{j}}+4 \hat{\mathrm{k}}) \cdot(11 \hat{\mathrm{i}}-\hat{\mathrm{j}}+12 \hat{\mathrm{k}})}{\sqrt{169+81+16} \sqrt{121+1+144}} \\ & =\frac{13(11)+9(-1)+1(12)}{\sqrt{266} \sqrt{266}}\end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned} & =\frac{143-9+48}{266} \\ & =\frac{182}{266} \\ & =\frac{13}{19} \\ \therefore \quad \theta & =\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{13}{19}\right)\end{aligned}\)
