  2. B \(\frac{3 \sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{7}}\)
  3. C \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{7}}\)
  4. D \(\frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{7}}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{3 \sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{7}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\cos \theta = \frac{\bar{a} \cdot \bar{b}}{|\bar{a}| |\bar{b}|}\) \(\cos 60^{\circ} = \frac{(1)(2)+(2)(-1)+(2)(\mathrm{p})}{\sqrt{1^2+2^2+2^2}\sqrt{2^2+(-1)^2+\mathrm{p}^2}}\) \(\frac{1}{2} = \frac{2\mathrm{p}}{3\sqrt{5+\mathrm{p}^2}}\) \(3\sqrt{5+\mathrm{p}^2} = 4\mathrm{p}\)…
