The angle between the lines with direction ratios 2 , - 2 , 1 and 1 , - 2 , 2 is
Options
- Acos - 1 4 9
- Bcos - 1 8 9
- Cπ 6
- Dπ 2
Correct answer
B. cos - 1 8 9
Step-by-step solution
Direction ratios are ( 2 , - 2 , 1 ) and ( 1 , - 2 , 2 ) cos θ = 2 × 1 + ( - 2 × - 2 ) + 1 × 2 2 2 + ( - 2 ) 2 + 1 2   1 2 + ( - 2 ) 2 + 2 2 = 8 3 × 3 = 8 9
