If ⁻¹ p+ ⁻¹ q+ ⁻¹ r=3 , then p^2+q^2+r^2+2 p q r is equal to
Options
- A3
- B1
- C2
- D-1
Correct answer
B. 1
Step-by-step solution
⁻¹ p+ ⁻¹ q+ ⁻¹ r=3 We know that, if y= ⁻¹ x , then -1 x 1 and 0 y . Hence, the given equation will hold only when each is . p=q=r= =-1 p^2+q^2+r^2+2 p q r aligned & =(-1)^2+(-1)^2+(-1)^2+2(-1)(-1)(-1) & =1+1+1-2=3-2=1 aligned
