Correct Option: C
Using cosine formula (t(\sqrt{3}))2 = t2 + t2 - 2t2 cos(\theta)
3t2 = 2t2 - 2t2 cos(\theta) = 2t2(1 - cos(\theta))
1 - cos(\theta) = (\frac{3t^2}{2t^2}) = (\frac{3}{2})
cos = 1 - (\frac{3}{2} = -\frac{1}{2})
(\theta) = cos-1(-(\frac{1}{2})) = 120o and 240o
N.B 0 (\geq) (\theta) 360
