The angle made by a vector $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}=3 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+2 \hat{\mathrm{j}}+4 \hat{\mathrm{k}}$ with $\mathrm{y}$ -axis is
  1. $\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{5}{\sqrt{23}}\right)$
  2. $\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{4}{\sqrt{11}}\right)$
  3. $\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{\sqrt{17}}\right)$
  4. $\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{29}}\right)$

Solution

$\begin{array}{l} \vec{B}=3 \hat{\imath}+2 \hat{\jmath}+4 \hat{k} \\ y \text {-axis }=\hat{\jmath} \end{array}$ $\angle$ made with y axis $=\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{29}}\right)$
