Mathematics Question on Vectors

If a,b,c\overrightarrow a,\overrightarrow b,\overrightarrow c are three non-coplanar vectors and p,q,r are vectors defined by
p=a×c[abc]\overrightarrow p=\frac{\overrightarrow a\times \overrightarrow c}{[\overrightarrow a\overrightarrow b\overrightarrow c]} ,q=c×a[abc]\overrightarrow q=\frac{\overrightarrow c\times \overrightarrow a}{[\overrightarrow a\overrightarrow b\overrightarrow c]},r=a×b[abc]\overrightarrow r=\frac{\overrightarrow a\times \overrightarrow b}{[\overrightarrow a\overrightarrow b\overrightarrow c]}then
(a+b).p+(b+c).q+(c+a).r(\overrightarrow a+\overrightarrow b).\overrightarrow p+(\overrightarrow b+\overrightarrow c).\overrightarrow q+(\overrightarrow c+\overrightarrow a).\overrightarrow r is
