The correct answer is: Φ

Given,

 u=alogebi^-6j^+3k^ and v=logebi^+2j^+2alogebk^ 

For angle to be acute u·v>0

alogebi^-6j^+3k^.logebi^+2j^+2alogebk^>0

alogeb2-12+6alogeb>0 b>1

Let y=alogeb2-12+6alogeb

Now let logeb=tt>0 as b>1

Now y=at2+6at-12>0, t>0

Since y>0, so a>0 & D<0

D=36a2+48a<0

a-43,0 but a>0,

So, aϕ
