B

r2r ^ { 2 }

C

0

D

None of these

Answer

r2r ^ { 2 }

Explanation

Solution

Let r=xi+yj+zk\mathbf { r } = x \mathbf { i } + y \mathbf { j } + z \mathbf { k }

(ri)2+(rj)2+(rk)2=x2+y2+z2=r2\Rightarrow ( \mathbf { r } \cdot \mathbf { i } ) ^ { 2 } + ( \mathbf { r } \cdot \mathbf { j } ) ^ { 2 } + ( \mathbf { r } \cdot \mathbf { k } ) ^ { 2 } = x ^ { 2 } + y ^ { 2 } + z ^ { 2 } = r ^ { 2 }
