                If a unit vector \[\vec{a}\] makes angles \[\pi /3\] with \[\hat{i},\pi /4\]with \[\hat{j}\] and \[\theta \in (0,\pi )\] with \[\hat{k},\] then a value of \[\theta \]is :-             [JEE Main 9-4-2019 Afternoon]

    A) \[\frac{5\pi }{12}\]                 

    B) \[\frac{5\pi }{6}\]

    C) \[\frac{2\pi }{3}\]       

    D) \[\frac{\pi }{4}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[{{\cos }^{2}}\alpha +{{\cos }^{2}}\beta +{{\cos }^{2}}\gamma =1\]           \[\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{2}+{{\cos }^{2}}\gamma =1\]           \[{{\cos }^{2}}\gamma =1-\frac{3}{4}=\frac{1}{4}\]           \[{{\cos }^{2}}\gamma =\pm \frac{1}{2}\Rightarrow \gamma =\frac{\pi }{3}or\frac{2\pi }{3}\]
