    Let a→\overrightarrow{a} and b→\overrightarrow{b} be two vectors, Let ∣a→∣=1,∣b→∣=4|\overrightarrow{a}| = 1,|\overrightarrow{b}| = 4 and a→⋅b→=2\overrightarrow{a}\cdot\overrightarrow{b}= 2. If c→=(2a→×b→)−3b→\overrightarrow{c}= (2\overrightarrow{a}\times\overrightarrow{b}) - 3\overrightarrow{b}, then the value of b→⋅c→\overrightarrow{b}\cdot\overrightarrow{c} is

    Let a→=a1i^+a2j^+a3k^\overrightarrow{a}=a_{1}\widehat{i}+a_{2}\widehat{j}+a_{3}\widehat{k} and b→=b1i^+b2j^+b3k^\overrightarrow{b}=b_{1}\widehat{i}+b_{2}\widehat{j}+b_{3}\widehat{k} be two vectors such that ∣a→∣=1;a→⋅b→=2|\overrightarrow{a}| = 1;\overrightarrow{a}\cdot\overrightarrow{b}= 2 and ∣b→∣=4|\overrightarrow{b}| = 4. If c→=2(a→×b→)−3b→\overrightarrow{c}= 2(\overrightarrow{a}\times\overrightarrow{b}) - 3\overrightarrow{b}, then the angle between b→\overrightarrow{b} and c→\overrightarrow{c} is equal to:
