Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{29}}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{array}{l}
\vec{B}=3 \hat{\imath}+2 \hat{\jmath}+4 \hat{k} \\
y \text {-axis }=\hat{\jmath}
\end{array}\)
\(\angle\) made with y axis \(\cos ^{-1}(\sqrt{2}\)
\(=\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{29}}\right)\)
