Detailed Solution

Since  a,b,c are linearly independent  [abc]0
d  can be written as linear combination of a,b  and  c
 d=[dbc]a+[dca]b+[dab]c[abc]
Now,  r=[dba]c[dbc]a+[dcb]a[dca]b+[dac]b+[dac]b[dab]c
 =2{[dcb]a+[dac]b+[dba]c}=2[abc]dr=2[abc]d ((b+c)×(b+d))×(c×d)c=((c×b+c×d+b×d)×(c×d))c =([cbd]c[bdc]d)c=[bdc]|d|2
