If $\overrightarrow{ P } \times \overrightarrow{ Q } = \overrightarrow{ Q } \times \overrightarrow{ P }$,the angle between $\overrightarrow{ P }$ and $\overrightarrow{ Q }$ is $\theta$ $(0^{\circ} < \theta < 360^{\circ})$. The value of $\theta$ will be ........ (in $^{\circ}$)

Three particles $P, Q$ and $R$ are moving along the vectors $\vec{A}=\hat{i}+\hat{j}, \vec{B}=\hat{j}+\hat{k}$ and $\vec{C}=-\hat{i}+\hat{j}$ respectively. They strike a point and start to move in different directions. Now,particle $P$ is moving normal to the plane containing vectors $\vec{A}$ and $\vec{B}$. Similarly,particle $Q$ is moving normal to the plane containing vectors $\vec{A}$ and $\vec{C}$. The angle between the directions of motion of $P$ and $Q$ is $\cos^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}\right)$. Then the value of $x$ is ...... .
