Correct Answer - B
AB=Position vectors of B positionn vector of A
`=(2hati+3hatj-6hatk)-(6hati-2hatj+3hatk)=-4hati+5hatj-9hatk`
`implies|AB|=sqrt(16+25+81)=sqrt(122)`
`BC=hati+3hatj+4hatk`
`implies|BC|=sqrt(1+9+16)=sqrt(26) and AC=-3hati+8hatj-5hatk`
`implies|AC|=sqrt(98)`
therefore, `AB^(2)=122,BC^(2)=26 and AC^(2)=98`
`impliesAB^(2)+BC^(2)=26+122=148`
Since, `AC^(2) lt AB^(2)+BC^(2)`, therefore `DeltaABC` is an obtuse angled triangle.
