Solution

The correct option is B $r^{2}$
$x^{2} + y^{2} + z^{2}$
$= r^{2} {sin}^{2} A {sin}^{2} B + r^{2} {cos}^{2} A {sin}^{2} B + r^{2} {cos}^{2} B$
$= r^{2} {sin}^{2} B ({sin}^{2} A + {cos}^{2} A) + r^{2} {cos}^{2} B$
$= r^{2} {sin}^{2} B + r^{2} {cos}^{2} B$
$= r^{2} ({sin}^{2} B + {cos}^{2} B)$
$= r^{2}$

Q. If x = r sin θ cos ϕ, y = r sin θ sin ϕ and z = r cos θ, then

(a)

x^{2} + y^{2} + z^{2} = r^{2}

x^{2} + y^{2} - z^{2} = r^{2}

x^{2} - y^{2} + z^{2} = r^{2}

z^{2} + y^{2} - x^{2} = r^{2}

If $x = r s i n α c o s β, y = r s i n α s i n β$ and $z = r c o s α$ , then
