    The magnitude of cross product of two vectors is \[\sqrt{3}\]times the dot product. The angle between the vectors is

    A) \[\frac{\pi }{6}\]

    B)                                         \[\frac{\pi }{3}\]                             

    C)         \[\frac{\pi }{2}\]                             

    D)         \[\frac{\pi }{4}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Let two vectors are \[\vec{a}\] and \[\vec{b}.\] then according to question \[|\vec{a}\times \vec{b}|=\sqrt{3}|\vec{a}.\vec{b}|\]                 \[\Rightarrow \]\[|\vec{a}|.|\vec{b}|sin\theta =\sqrt{3}|\vec{a}||\vec{b}|cos\theta \] \[\Rightarrow \]\[\tan \theta =\sqrt{3}-\tan \frac{\pi }{3}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[\theta =\frac{\pi }{3}.\]
