if two vectiors of magnitudeof 5 and 3 are added such that angle between resultant and vector of magnitude 3 is maximum and it will be.

Let the two vectors A and B inclined at an angle θ be acting on a particle at the same time.
Where, OP =  A = 3 units
OS = B = 5 units


According to parallelogram law of vectors, their resultant vector R wil be represented by the diagonal OQ of the parallelogram.
Let the resultant R make an angle β with the direction of A. Then from right angle triangle QNO
tan β = QNON = QNOP + PN = B sin θA + B cos θ       .......(1)
Angle between resultant and vector of magnitude 3 will be  maximum when θ = 900
From eq. 1, we get  :
tan β = 53β = tan-153
