MCQ
If $|a\,.\,b|\, = 3$ and $|a \times b|\, = 4,$ then the angle between $a $ and $ b$  is
  • A
    ${\cos ^{ - 1}}\frac{3}{4}$
  • ${\cos ^{ - 1}}\frac{3}{5}$
  • C
    ${\cos ^{ - 1}}\frac{4}{5}$
  • D
    $\frac{\pi }{4}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
${\cos ^{ - 1}}\frac{3}{5}$
b
(b) $|a.b| = ab\cos \theta = 3$…..$(i)$

and $|a \times b| = ab\,\sin \theta = 4$…..$(ii)$

Dividing $(ii)$ by $(i),$

we get $\tan \theta = \frac{4}{3} \Rightarrow \cos \theta = \frac{3}{5} \Rightarrow \theta = {\cos ^{ - 1}}\frac{3}{5}.$
