    If \[\vec{a}+\vec{b}+\vec{c}=\vec{0}\]and \[|\vec{a}|=\sqrt{37},|\vec{b}|\]\[=3,|\vec{c}|=4,\] then angle between \[\vec{b}\]and \[\vec{c}\] is:

    A)  \[{{30}^{o}}\]                   

    B)         \[{{45}^{o}}\]                   

    C)         \[{{60}^{o}}\]                   

    D)         \[{{90}^{o}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Given, \[\vec{a}+\vec{b}+\vec{c}=\vec{0}\]and \[|\vec{a}|=\sqrt{37},|\vec{b}|\,=3\] and \[|\vec{c}|=4\] \[\therefore \]  \[\vec{a}+\vec{b}+\vec{c}=\vec{0}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\vec{a}=-(\vec{b}+\vec{c})\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[|\vec{a}{{|}^{2}}=|-\vec{b}+\vec{c}{{|}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[|\vec{a}{{|}^{2}}=|\vec{b}{{|}^{2}}+|\vec{c}{{|}^{2}}+\,2|\vec{b}||\vec{c}|cos\theta \]                 \[=9+16+24\cos \theta \] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[37=25+24\cos \theta \] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[24\cos \theta =12\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\theta ={{60}^{o}}.\]
