Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

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

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, condition is \(\vec{a}+\vec{b}+\vec{c}=\overrightarrow{0}\) ...(i) and \(\overrightarrow{\mathbf{a}}, \overrightarrow{\mathbf{b}}, \overrightarrow{\mathbf{c}}\) are the unit vectors. Then \(\quad|\vec{a}|=|\vec{b}|=|\vec{c}|=1\) Let the angle between…
