Solution

The correct option is B $\frac{1}{2} (\to p + \to q + \to r)$
To make the problem easier, let $¯ ¯ ¯ p =^i, ¯ ¯ ¯ q =^j, ¯ ¯ ¯ r =^k .$
LHS becomes $(¯ ¯ ¯ x -^j) -^i . (¯ ¯ ¯ x -^j)^i + (¯ ¯ ¯ x -^k) -^j . (¯ ¯ ¯ x -^k)^j + (¯ ¯ ¯ x -^i) -^k . (¯ ¯ ¯ x -^i)^k$
$∴ 0 = 3 (a^i + b^j + c^k) -^i -^j -^k - a^i - b^j - c^k$
$∴^i +^j +^k = 2 a^i + 2 b^j + 2 c^k$
Comparing co-efficients, we get $a = b = c = \frac{1}{2}$
Thus, $¯ ¯ ¯ x = \frac{1}{2} (¯ ¯ ¯ p + ¯ ¯ ¯ q + ¯ ¯ ¯ r)$
