= Solution

Over $\mathbb C$, the operator representing $r$ has an <eigenvector> $v$ with <eigenvalue> $\lambda\ne0$. The relation $trt^{-1}=r^{-1}$ gives
$$
r(tv)=t(r^{-1}v)=\lambda^{-1}tv.
$$
\b[Therefore $\operatorname{span}\{v,tv\}$ is a nonzero $G$-invariant subspace of dimension at most two. If $V$ is irreducible it equals this subspace, so $\dim V\leq2$.]
