The vector {(a2+a−2)i^+(a2−4)j^−(a2−5a+6)k^}\{(a^2+a-2)\hat{i}+(a^2-4)\hat{j}-(a^2-5a+6)\hat{k}\} makes acute angles with coordinate axes, then values of aa lies in :

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Acute angles with all three axes require every component to be positive.

(a+2)(a−1)>0(a+2)(a-1)>0 gives a<−2a<-2 or a>1a>1.

(a−2)(a+2)>0(a-2)(a+2)>0 gives a<−2a<-2 or a>2a>2.

−(a−2)(a−3)>0-(a-2)(a-3)>0 gives 2<a<32<a<3.

The intersection of the three conditions is (2,3)(2,3).
