The correct answer is: cos-116357

M is the midpoint of AC and BD

M3+72,2+42,3+52=M5,3,4

Now using diagonal BD

x+12=5 x=9

y+42=3y=2

z+62=4z=2

Direction ratios of DC,   a1=2, b1=-2, c1=-3

Direction ratios of DB,  a2=8, b2=-2, c2=-4

Angle cosθ=a1a2+b1b2+c1c2a12+b12+c12a22+b22+c22

cosθ=328417=162117=16357

θ=cos-116357
