MCQ
Let $\vec a,\vec b\;$ and $\;\vec c$ be three unit vectors such that  $\vec a \times \left( {\vec b \times \vec c} \right) = \frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{2}\left( {\vec b + \vec c} \right)$ . If  $\vec b$ is not parallel to $\vec c$ then angle between $\vec a\;$ and $\;\vec b$ is :
  • $\frac{{5\pi }}{6}$
  • B
    $\frac{{2\pi }}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{{3\pi }}{4}$
  • D
    $\frac{\pi }{2}$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$\frac{{5\pi }}{6}$
a
$\left(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{c}-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right) \vec{b}-\left(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right) \vec{c}=0$

$\Rightarrow \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}=\cos \theta=-\sqrt{3} / 2 $

$\Rightarrow \theta=5 \pi / 6$
