Solution

The correct option is D 3
a.p=a.(b×c)[abc]=[abc][abc]=1
b.q=b.(c×a)[abc]=[abc][abc]=1
c.r=c.(a×b)[abc]=[abc][abc]=1
a.p=b.q=c.r=1
consider
b.p=b.(b×c)[abc]=0 since b.b=0
c.q=c.(c×a)[abc]=[cca][abc]=0 since c.c=0
a.r=a.(a×b)[abc]=[aab][abc]=0 Since a.a=0
b.p=c.q=a.r=0
(a+b).p+(b+c).q+(c+a).r=1+0+1+0+1+0=3
