Correct answer

C. (P) →\rightarrow (1), (Q) →\rightarrow (2), (R) →\rightarrow (4), (S) →\rightarrow (5)

Step-by-step solution

For (P):
Since α\alpha and β\beta are roots of x2+x+1=0x^2 + x + 1 = 0, we have α2+α+1=0⇒α+1=−α2\alpha^2 + \alpha + 1 = 0 \Rightarrow \alpha + 1 = -\alpha^2 and α3=1\alpha^3 = 1.
1(α+1)2026=1(−α2)2026=1α4052\dfrac{1}{(\alpha+1)^{2026}} = \dfrac{1}{(-\alpha^2)^{2026}} = \dfrac{1}{\alpha^{4052}}
Since 4052=3×1350+24052 = 3 \times 1350 + 2, α4052=(α3)1350⋅α2=α2\alpha^{4052} = (\alpha^3)^{1350} \cdot \alpha^2 = \alpha^2.
Thus, 1α2=α3α2=α\dfrac{1}{\alpha^2} = \dfrac{\alpha^3}{\alpha^2} = \alpha.
Similarly, 1(β+1)2026=β\dfrac{1}{(\beta+1)^{2026}} = \beta.
The quadratic equation with roots α\alpha and β\beta is the original equation x2+x+1=0x^2 + x + 1 = 0.
So, (P) →\rightarrow (1).

For (Q):
1(α+1)2027=1(−α2)2027=−1α4054\dfrac{1}{(\alpha+1)^{2027}} = \dfrac{1}{(-\alpha^2)^{2027}} = -\dfrac{1}{\alpha^{4054}}
Since 4054=3×1351+14054 = 3 \times 1351 + 1, α4054=α\alpha^{4054} = \alpha.
Thus, −1α=−β-\dfrac{1}{\alpha} = -\beta.
Similarly, the other root is −α-\alpha.
Sum of roots =−α−β=−(α+β)=−(−1)=1= -\alpha - \beta = -(\alpha + \beta) = -(-1) = 1.
Product of roots =(−α)(−β)=αβ=1= (-\alpha)(-\beta) = \alpha\beta = 1.
The quadratic equation is x2−x+1=0x^2 - x + 1 = 0.
So, (Q) →\rightarrow (2).

For (R):
Since γ\gamma and δ\delta are roots of x2−x+1=0x^2 - x + 1 = 0, we have γ2−γ+1=0⇒γ−1=γ2\gamma^2 - \gamma + 1 = 0 \Rightarrow \gamma - 1 = \gamma^2 and γ3=−1\gamma^3 = -1.
1(γ−1)2026=1(γ2)2026=1γ4052\dfrac{1}{(\gamma-1)^{2026}} = \dfrac{1}{(\gamma^2)^{2026}} = \dfrac{1}{\gamma^{4052}}
γ4052=(γ3)1350⋅γ2=(−1)1350⋅γ2=γ2\gamma^{4052} = (\gamma^3)^{1350} \cdot \gamma^2 = (-1)^{1350} \cdot \gamma^2 = \gamma^2.
Thus, 1γ2=γγ3=−γ\dfrac{1}{\gamma^2} = \dfrac{\gamma}{\gamma^3} = -\gamma.
Similarly, the second term is −δ-\delta.
The sum is −γ−δ=−(γ+δ)=−(1)=−1-\gamma - \delta = -(\gamma + \delta) = -(1) = -1.
So, (R) →\rightarrow (4).

For (S):
Since pp and rr are roots of x2+x−1=0x^2 + x - 1 = 0, we have x2+x=1⇒x(x+1)=1⇒x+1=1xx^2 + x = 1 \Rightarrow x(x+1) = 1 \Rightarrow x+1 = \dfrac{1}{x}.
1(p+1)3+1(r+1)3=p3+r3\dfrac{1}{(p+1)^3} + \dfrac{1}{(r+1)^3} = p^3 + r^3
We know p+r=−1p+r = -1 and pr=−1pr = -1.
p3+r3=(p+r)3−3pr(p+r)=(−1)3−3(−1)(−1)=−1−3=−4p^3 + r^3 = (p+r)^3 - 3pr(p+r) = (-1)^3 - 3(-1)(-1) = -1 - 3 = -4.
So, (S) →\rightarrow (5).

Answer: (P) →\rightarrow (1), (Q) →\rightarrow (2), (R) →\rightarrow (4), (S) →\rightarrow (5)
