If \(\overline{\mathrm{b}}\) and \(\overline{\mathrm{c}}\) are unit vectors and \(|\bar{a}|=7\), \(\bar{a} \times(\bar{b} \times \bar{c})+\bar{b} \times(\bar{c} \times \bar{a})=\frac{1}{2} \bar{a}\), then angle between the vectors \(\bar{a}\) and \(\overline{\mathrm{c}}\) and angle between the vectors \(\overline{\mathrm{b}}\) and \(\overline{\mathrm{c}}\) are respectively.

  1. A \(90^{\circ}, 60^{\circ}\)
  2. B \(30^{\circ}, 60^{\circ}\)
  3. C \(90^{\circ}, 120^{\circ}\)
  4. D \(45^{\circ}, 90^{\circ}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(90^{\circ}, 120^{\circ}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\bar{a} \times(\bar{b} \times \bar{c}) = (\bar{a} \cdot \bar{c})\bar{b} - (\bar{a} \cdot \bar{b})\bar{c}\) \(\bar{b} \times(\bar{c} \times \bar{a}) = (\bar{b} \cdot \bar{a})\bar{c} - (\bar{b} \cdot \bar{c})\bar{a}\)
