    If a, b, c are three non-coplanar vectors and p, q, r are reciprocal vectors, then (isl + mb + nc)  (lp + mq + nr) is equal to

    A) l + m + n              

    B) \[{{l}^{3}}+{{m}^{3}}+{{n}^{3}}\]

    C) \[{{l}^{2}}+{{m}^{2}}+{{n}^{2}}\]              

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[\because \] p, q and r are reciprocal vectors of a, b and c respectively. \[\therefore \]      p. r = 1 p . b = 0 p . c           q . a = 0, q . b = 1, q . c = 0           r.a = 0, r.b = 0, r . c = 1 \[\therefore \]      (la + mb + nc) . (lp + mq + nr)                     = \[{{l}^{2}}+{{m}^{2}}+{{n}^{2}}\]
