Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(9\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2} &=9 \sin ^{2} \theta+9 \cos ^{2} \theta \cos ^{2} \phi+9 \cos ^{2} \theta \sin ^{2} \phi \\ &=9 \sin ^{2} \theta+9 \cos ^{2} \theta\left(\cos ^{2} \phi+\sin ^{2} \phi\right) \\ &=9 \sin ^{2} \theta+9 \cos ^{2} \theta \\ &=9\left(\sin ^{2} \theta+\cos ^{2} \theta\right)=9 \times 1=9 \end{aligned}\)
