The correct answer is: 3

Given,

Direction ratio of perpendicular line to the plane is 1,2,2,

So the equation of the plane will be x+2y+2z=d

Now given distance from origin is 13,

So by perpendicular distance formula we get,

d12+22+22=13d=1

So, equation of plane will be x+2y+2z-1=0

Now comparing equation of plane with x+py+qz+r=0

We get, p=2, q=2 & r=-1

So, the value of p2+q2+r2=22+22+12=9=3
