Distribution Theory — degrees of freedom under linear restrictions

Let (X1,X2,…,X53)(X_1, X_2, …, X_{53}) be a random sample from N(0,1)N(0, 1) distribution. If for some α\alpha's, β\beta's and γ\gamma's, ∑i=153αiXi=0\sum_{i=1}^{53}\alpha_iX_i = 0, ∑i=153βiXi=0\sum_{i=1}^{53}\beta_iX_i = 0 and ∑i=153γiXi=0\sum_{i=1}^{53}\gamma_iX_i = 0, then the distribution of ∑i=153Xi2\sum_{i=1}^{53}X_i^2, is:
