If a,b,c are three unit vectors such that a+b+c is also unit vector and @,@2,@3 are angles  between vectors a,b; b,c and c,a respectively then among @,@2,@3




 


a) all r acute anles


b) all r right angles

 


c) atleast one is acute angle

 


d) none of dis

ok lets eliminate options


a option. obviously false. the sum of the 3 vectors would surely not be unit vector.


b option. again false. take unit vectors along the three axes and verify. magnitude will be root 3.


now take a simple case.


vector a along x direction


vector b along y direction


vector c along -x direction.


this satisfies all cinditions.


so then option c is correct.


from the abive case we also see that:


a along x dirn


b making acute angle with y dirn


c making acute angle with -x dirn will also satisfy conditions for some values of angles.


 


answer is c
