Q.

Let P(3, 2, 3), Q(4, 6, 2) and R(7, 3, 2) be the vertices of PQR. Then the angle QPR is          [2024]

1 cos1(718)  
2 cos1(118)  
3 π3  
4 π6  

Ans.

(3)

Direction ratios of line PQ = <4 – 3, 6 – 2, 2 – 3> = <1, 4, –1>

Direction ratios of line PR = <7 – 3, 3 – 2, 2 – 3> = <4, 1, –1>

Let θ be the required angle.

  cos θ=|1×4+4×1+(1)×(1)1+16+116+1+1|=|918|=12

 θ=cos1(12)=π3        QPR=π3.
