Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(q=r\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathbf{p} \times \mathbf{q}=\mathbf{p} \times \mathbf{r}\) \[ \begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \quad \mathbf{p} \times(\mathbf{q}-\mathbf{r})=0 \\ & \text { p.q }=\text { p. } r \\ & \Rightarrow \quad \text { p. }(\mathbf{q}-\mathbf{r})=0 \\ & \end{aligned} \] From Eqs. (i) and…
