Detailed Solution

1a+ω+1b+ω+1c+ω=2ω2=2ω and 1a+ω2+1b+ω2+1c+ω2=2ω=2ω2
It is clear that, ω and ω2 are the roots of the equation
1a+x+1b+x+1c+x=2xx(b+x)(c+x)=2(a+x)(b+x)(c+x)x3(ab+bc+ca)x2abc=0
Coefficient of x2=0 the sum of roots = 0
α+ω+ω2=0α1=0α=1
Third root is 1.
From Eq (i), we get 1a+1+1b+1+1c+1=2
