    Two vectors\[\overrightarrow{A}\] and\[\overrightarrow{B}\] have equal magnitudes. The magnitude of\[(\overrightarrow{A}+\overrightarrow{B})\] is 'n' times the magnitude of \[(\overrightarrow{A}-\overrightarrow{B})\]The angle between \[\overrightarrow{A}\]and \[\overrightarrow{B}\]is:

    A) \[{{\cos }^{-1}}\left[ \frac{{{n}^{2}}-1}{{{n}^{2}}+1} \right]\]

    B) \[{{\cos }^{-1}}\left[ \frac{n-1}{n+1} \right]\]

    C) \[si{{n}^{-1}}\left[ \frac{{{n}^{2}}-1}{{{n}^{2}}+1} \right]\]

    D) \[si{{n}^{-1}}\left[ \frac{n-1}{n+1} \right]\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[|\overrightarrow{A}+\overrightarrow{B}|=n|\overrightarrow{A}-\overrightarrow{B}|\]
    \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{A}^{2}}+{{B}^{2}}+2AB\cos \theta \]\[={{n}^{2}}({{A}^{2}}+{{B}^{2}}-2ABcos\theta )\]\[\Rightarrow \] \[\cos \theta (1+{{n}^{2}})=\frac{2{{a}^{2}}({{n}^{2}}-1)}{2{{a}^{2}}}\]            \[[A=B=a]\]
                \[\cos \theta =\frac{{{n}^{2}}-1}{{{n}^{2}}+1}\]
