For unit vectors $\bar{a}, \bar{b}, \bar{c}$,if $\bar{a} \times (\bar{b} \times \bar{c}) = \frac{\bar{b}}{2}$ and $\bar{b}, \bar{c}$ are non-collinear vectors,then the angles made by $\bar{a}$ with $\bar{b}$ and $\bar{c}$ respectively are:

  • A
    $40^{\circ}, 80^{\circ}$
  • B
    $45^{\circ}, 45^{\circ}$
  • C
    $90^{\circ}, 60^{\circ}$
  • D
    $30^{\circ}, 60^{\circ}$
