If f(x)=a+bx+cx2 and α, β, γ are the roots of the equation x3=1, then a    b    cb    c    ac    a    b is equal to

a
f(α)+f(β)+f(γ)
b
f(α)f(β)+f(β)f(γ)+f(γ)f(α)
c
f(α)f(β)f(γ)
d
−f(α)f(β)f(γ)

detailed solution

Correct option is D

abcbcacab=−a3+b3+c3−3abc=−(a+b+c)a+bω2+cωa+bω+cω2                               (where ω is cube roots of unity)                   =−f(α)f(β)f(γ) ∵α=1,β=ω,γ=ω2
