  1. A \(30^{\circ}\)
  2. B \(135^{\circ}\)
  3. C \(150^{\circ}\)
  4. D \(120^{\circ}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(150^{\circ}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(a^2=48, b^2=16 \implies a=4\sqrt{3}, b=4\) \(a \cos \theta = -6 \implies 4\sqrt{3} \cos \theta = -6 \implies \cos \theta = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\)
