Detailed Solution

It is given that α and β are roots of quadratic equation x2 - x - 1=0, so sum of roots = α + 0 = 1, and product of roots ==αβ=1
and pk=αk+βk,k1
so, p1=α+β=1
p2=α2+β2=(α+β)22αβ=1+2=3 p3=α3+β3=(α+β)33αβ(α+β)=1+3=4 p4=α4+β4=(α+β)44αβα2+β26α2β2 =1+126=7
and p5=α5+β5 =(α+β)55αβα3+β310α2β2(α+β) =1+2010=11   p3=p5-p4=4 p1+p2+p3+p4+p5=1+3+4+7+11=26  but p5p2·p3
