Solution

The correct options are
A p.q=r.q
B maximum value of [p q r]=12
C minimum value of [p q r]=0
Take dot product with q on both the sides
p.q=r.q
Hence, A is correct.
We have,
pq×p=r - (i)
We have, |r|=|q|=1
On squaring (i), we get
p2+p2sin2θ=1 (θ is the angle between the vectors p and q)
p2=11+sin2θ
p=q×p+r
Squaring p2=p2sin2θ+2[qpr]+1
2[pqr]=1p2cos2θ=1cos2θ(1+sin2θ)
2[pqr]=1(1sin2θ)(1+sin2θ)=2sin2θ(1+sin2θ)
2[pqr]=2(111+sin2θ)
[pqr]=11(1+sin2θ)
When sin2θ=0[pqr]=0
When sin2θ=1[pqr]=12.
