    \[\overrightarrow{A}\times \overrightarrow{B}=\overrightarrow{B}\times \overrightarrow{A},\]then the angle between A and B is

    A)  \[\pi \]                                

    B)  \[\pi /3\]

    C)  \[\pi /2\]                            

    D)  \[\pi /4\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     \[(\overrightarrow{A}\times \overrightarrow{B})=(\overrightarrow{B}\times \overrightarrow{A})\]                      (Given) \[\Rightarrow \]               \[(\overrightarrow{A}\times \overrightarrow{B})-(\overrightarrow{B}\times \overrightarrow{A})=\overrightarrow{0}\]                 \[(\overrightarrow{A}\times \overrightarrow{B})+(\overrightarrow{A}\times \overrightarrow{B})=\overrightarrow{0}\]                                                 \[[\because (\overrightarrow{B}\times \overrightarrow{A})=-(\overrightarrow{A}\times \overrightarrow{B})]\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[2(\overrightarrow{A}\times \overrightarrow{B})=\overrightarrow{0}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[2AB\sin \theta =0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[sin\theta =0\] \[\because \]     \[[|\overrightarrow{A}|]=A\ne 0;|\overrightarrow{B}|=B\ne 0\] \[\therefore \]  \[\theta =0\]or \[\pi \]
