The equation of plane is

xA+yB+zC=1           …….   (1)

Using centroid formula in XYZ plane is

(x=x1+x2+x33,y=y1+y2+y33,z=z1+z2+z33)

Then,

(A3,B3,C3)=(p,q,r)

Therefore,

A=3p,B=3q,C=3r

Put the value of A,B and C in equation of plane (1) and we get

xA+yB+zC=1

x3p+y3q+z3r=1

Hence,

xp+yq+zr=3

option (D) is correct answer.
