Let \(\mathbf{p}=\hat{\mathbf{i}}+2 \mathbf{j}-\mathbf{k}, \mathbf{q}=2 \mathbf{i}-\mathbf{j}+\mathbf{k}\). If \(\mathbf{a}\) and \(\mathbf{b}\) are two vectors such that \(\mathbf{p}=\mathbf{a}-2 \mathbf{b}\), \(\mathbf{q}=2 \mathbf{a}+\mathbf{b}\), then the angle between \(\mathbf{a}\) and \(\mathbf{b}\) is

  1. A \(\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{2 \sqrt{221}}\right)\)
  2. B \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)
  3. C \(\cos ^{-1} \frac{7}{\sqrt{143}}\)
  4. D \(\frac{\pi}{3}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{2 \sqrt{221}}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\because \mathbf{p}=\mathbf{a}-2 \mathbf{b}\) and \(\mathbf{q}=2 \mathbf{a}+\mathbf{b}\) So,…
