If P = a b c b c a c a b , a b c = 1 , P T P = I then the value of a 3 + b 3 + c 3 is

Options

  1. A2
  2. B1
  3. C0
  4. D5

Correct answer

A. 2

Step-by-step solution

Given, P = a b c b c a c a b ∴   P T = a b c b c a c a b Also given P T P = I ∴   P T P = I = 1 or a b c b c a c a b 2 = 1 ⇒ a b c b c a c a b = ± 1 or 3 a b c - a 3 - b 3 - c 3 = ± 1 or 3 ∓ 1 = a 3 + b 3 + c 3 ∴   a 3 + b 3 + c 3 = 2 or 4
