Question

The non-zero vectors are $$\vec a,\,\vec b$$  and $$\vec c$$ are related by $$\vec a = 8\vec b$$   and $$\vec c = - 7\vec b.$$   Then the angle between $${\vec a}$$ and $${\vec c}$$ is :

A. $$0$$
B. $$\frac{\pi }{4}$$
C. $$\frac{\pi }{2}$$
D. $$\pi $$  
Answer :   $$\pi $$
Solution :
Clearly $$\vec a = - \frac{8}{7}\vec c$$
$$ \Rightarrow \vec a\,||\,\vec c$$   and are opposite in direction
$$\therefore $$ Angle between $${\vec a}$$ and $${\vec c}$$ is $$\pi $$
