    If \[\theta \] is  the angle between the planes \[2x-y+z-1=0\] and \[x-2y+z+2=0,\] then \[\cos \,\theta \] is equal to

    A)  \[2/3\]

    B)  \[3/4\]

    C)  \[4/5\]

    D)  \[5/6\]s

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[\cos \theta =\left| \frac{{{a}_{1}}{{a}_{2}}+{{b}_{1}}{{b}_{2}}+{{c}_{1}}{{c}_{2}}}{\sqrt{a_{1}^{2}+b_{1}^{2}+c_{1}^{2}}\sqrt{a_{2}^{2}+b_{2}^{2}+c_{2}^{2}}} \right|\] Here,   \[{{a}_{1}}=2,\,{{b}_{1}}=-1,\,{{c}_{1}}=1,\,{{d}_{1}}=-1\] and \[{{a}_{2}}=1,{{b}_{2}}=-2,\,{{c}_{2}}=1,\,{{d}_{2}}=2\] \[\therefore \]\[\cos \theta =\left| \frac{(2\times 1)+(-1\times -2)+(1\times 1)}{\sqrt{4+1+1}\sqrt{1+4+1}} \right|\] \[=\left| \frac{2+2+1}{\sqrt{6}\sqrt{6}} \right|\] \[\cos \theta =\left| \frac{5}{6} \right|\]s
