पर्याय
(a) \[\frac{\pi}{4}\]
(b) \[\frac{\pi}{3}\]
(c) \[\frac{\pi}{2}\]
(d) \[\frac{2\pi}{3}\]
उत्तर
(d) \[\frac{2\pi}{3}\]
\[\text{ We have }\]
\[\left| \vec{a} \right| = 1 \text{ and } \left| \vec{b} \right| = 1\]
\[\text{ Now }, \left| \vec{a} + \vec{b} \right| = 1\]
\[ \Rightarrow \left| \vec{a} \right|^2 + \left| \vec{b} \right|^2 + 2 \vec{a} . \vec{b} = 1\]
\[ \Rightarrow 1 + 1 + 2 \left| \vec{a} \right| \left| \vec{b} \right| \cos \theta = 1\]
\[ \Rightarrow 2 + 2 \cos \theta = 1\]
\[ \Rightarrow 2 \cos \theta = - 1\]
\[ \Rightarrow \cos \theta = \frac{- 1}{2}\]
\[ \Rightarrow \theta = \frac{2\pi}{3}\]
