{r}

be position vector of any point on a sphere and a and

{b}

are respectively position vectors of the extremities of a diameter, then

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

(\mathbf{r}-\mathbf{a}) \cdot(\mathbf{r}-\mathbf{b})=0

Option D ((\mathbf{r}-\mathbf{a}) ·(\mathbf{r}-\mathbf{b})=0) is correct because the angle in a semicircle is a right angle, implying the dot product of the vectors representing the sides is zero.
