Detailed Solution

We have 

α+β=p and αβ=q             (1)

Also, since α, β are the roots of x2n+pnxn+qn=0,

We have α2n+pnαn+qn=0 and β2n+pnβn+qn=0

Subtracting the above relations, we get

α2nβ2n+pnαnβn=0

 αn+βn=pn         (2)

Given, α/β or β/α is a root of xn+1+(x+1)n=0. So,

       (α/β)n+1+[(α/β)+1]n=0αn+βn+(α+β)n=0pn+(p)n=0                  [Using (1) and (2)]

It is possible only when n is even.
