Answer
(b) ${A^2} = {a^2} = {a^2} + {a^2} + 2{a^2}\cos \theta$
$\Rightarrow \cos \theta = - \frac{1}{2} \Rightarrow \theta = \frac{{2\pi }}{3}$

The number of dry cells, each of $e.m.f.$ $1.5\,volt$ and internal resistance $0.5\, ohm$ that must be joined in series with a resistance of $20\, ohm$ so as to send a current of $0.6\,A$ through the circuit is
→Three particles ${P}, {Q}$ and ${R}$ are moving along the vectors ${A}=\hat{{i}}+\hat{{j}}, {B}=\hat{{j}}+\hat{{k}}$ and ${C}=-\hat{{i}}+\hat{{j}}$ respectively. They strike on a point and start to move in different directions. Now particle $P$ is moving normal to the plane which contains vector $\vec{A}$ and $\vec{B} .$ Similarly particle $Q$ is moving normal to the plane which contains vector $\vec{A}$ and $\vec{C} .$ The angle between the direction of motion of $P$ and $Q$ is $\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}\right)$. Then the value of $x$ is ...... .
