Previous Year Question (PYQs)



If the unit vectors $\vec a$ and $\vec b$ are inclined at an angle $2\theta$ such that $|\vec a - \vec b| < 1$ and $0 \le \theta \le \pi$, then $\theta$ lies in the interval





Solution

$|\vec a - \vec b| = \sqrt{2-2\cos 2\theta}$

Given:
$\sqrt{2-2\cos 2\theta} < 1$

Squaring:
$2-2\cos 2\theta < 1$

$\cos 2\theta > \dfrac{1}{2}$

So,
$0 \le 2\theta < \dfrac{\pi}{3}$

$\Rightarrow 0 \le \theta < \dfrac{\pi}{6}$

From given options, valid interval is included in
$\left[0,\dfrac{\pi}{2}\right]$
