Solution:
$\vec{\text{a}}$
and $\vec{\text{b}}$ are unit vectors.$\Rightarrow|\vec{\text{a}}|=\big|\vec{\text{b}}\big|=1\dots(1)$
Now,
$\vec{\text{a}}.\vec{\text{b}}=|\vec{\text{a}}|\big|\vec{\text{b}}\big|\cos\text{a}$
$\Rightarrow\vec{\text{a}}.\vec{\text{b}}=\cos\text{a}\dots(2)$
[using (1)]
Given that
$\Big|\vec{\text{a}}+\vec{\text{b}}\big|=1$
Squaring both sides, we get
$\big|\vec{\text{a}}+\vec{\text{b}}\big|^2=1$
$\Rightarrow|\vec{\text{a}}|^2+\big|\vec{\text{b}}\big|^2+2\vec{\text{a}}.\vec{\text{b}}=1$
$\Rightarrow1+1+2\cos\text{a}=1$
[using (1) and (2)]$\Rightarrow2+2\cos\text{a}=1$
$\Rightarrow2\cos\text{a}=-1$
$\Rightarrow\cos\text{a}=\frac{-1}{2}$
$\Rightarrow\text{a}=\frac{2\pi}{3}$
