- C(P) (1), (Q) (2), (R) (4), (S) (5)
- D(P) (2), (Q) (3), (R) (5), (S) (4)
Correct answer
C. (P) (1), (Q) (2), (R) (4), (S) (5)
Step-by-step solution
For (P): Since and are roots of x^2 + x + 1 = 0 , we have ^2 + + 1 = 0 + 1 = - ^2 and ^3 = 1 . 1 ( +1)²⁰²⁶ = 1 (- ^2)²⁰²⁶ = 1 ⁴⁰⁵² Since 4052 = 3 1350 + 2 , ⁴⁰⁵² = ( ^3)¹³⁵⁰ ^2 = ^2 . Thus, 1 ^2 = ^3 ^2 = . Similarly, 1 ( +1)²⁰²⁶ = . The quadratic equation with roots and is the original equation x^2 + x + 1 = 0 . So, (P) (1). For (Q): 1 ( +1)²⁰²⁷ = 1 (- ^2)²⁰²⁷ = - 1 ⁴⁰⁵⁴ Since 4054 = 3 1351 + 1 , ⁴⁰⁵⁴ = . Thus, - 1 = - . Similarly, the other root is - . Sum of roots = - - = -( + ) = -(-1) = 1 . Product of roots =
