Figure shows the three forces 9N , 12N and 15N that are represented by OA , OB, and OC  in equilibrium.
 
Let OD be the line along the force 15N . Angle α and β are made by 9N and 12 N with line OD respectively as shown in figure.
 
If we resolve the 9N and 12 N forces along OD , then at equilibrium we have
 
9 cosα + 12 cosβ = 15    or    9 cosα = 15 - 12 cosβ  .........................(1)
 
If we resolve the 9N and 12 N forces along line perpendicular to OD , then at equilibrium we have
 
9 sinα= 12 sinβ  ...............................(2)
 
By squaring and addin eqn.(1) and (2) , we get
 
81 = 144 + 225 - 360 cosβ  
 
By simplifying above expression , we get  cosβ = 4/5  , Hence sinβ = 3/5
 
From eqn.(2) , we get , sinα = (12/9) sinβ = (12/9) (3/5) = 4/5 
 
Angle between 9N and 12N is  ( α + β )
 
sinα = 4/5 = 0.8  , hence α = sin-1(0.8) = 53o
 
sinβ = 3/5 = 0.6 , hence β = sin-1(0.6) = 37o
 
Angle between 9N and 12N  =   ( α + β ) = 90o
 
( Though answer is not matching with the given options , this is the correct answer )
