Solution

The correct option is B 9
Given OP=x^i+y^j^k,OQ=^i+2^j+3x^k
OPOQ
OPOQ=0
x+2y3x=0
y=2x(i)

Now PQ=(1x)^i+(2y)^j+(3x+1)^k
PQ=(1x)2+(2y)2+(3x+1)2=20
20=1+x2+2x+4+y24y+9x2+1+6x
20=10x2+y2+8x+64y
20=10x2+4x2+8x+68x (y=2x)
14=14x2
x2=1x=1 (x>0)
and y=2(From (i))
Since vectors OP,OQ,OR are coplanar
∣ ∣xy1123x3z7∣ ∣=0
∣ ∣1211233z7∣ ∣=0
1(143z)2(79)1(z6)=0
143z+4+z+6=0
2z=4z=2
x2+y2+z2=9
