Correct answer

C. 2424

Step-by-step solution

Given 1α2+1β2=15\dfrac{1}{{\alpha}^{2}} + \dfrac{1}{{\beta}^{2}} = 15

For equation 3x2+\lambdax−1=03{x}^{2} + \lambdax - 1 = 0

α+β=−λ3\alpha + \beta = \dfrac{- \lambda}{3}, αβ=−13⇒α2β2=19\alpha\beta = \dfrac{- 1}{3} ⇒ {\alpha}^{2}{\beta}^{2} = \dfrac{1}{9}

then α2+β2=(α+β)2−2αβ{\alpha}^{2} + {\beta}^{2} = {\left(\alpha + \beta\right)}^{2} - 2\alpha\beta=λ29−2(−13)=λ29+23= \dfrac{{\lambda}^{2}}{9} - 2\left(\dfrac{- 1}{3}\right) = \dfrac{{\lambda}^{2}}{9} + \dfrac{2}{3}

⇒α2+β2=λ2+69⇒ {\alpha}^{2} + {\beta}^{2} = \dfrac{{\lambda}^{2} + 6}{9}

Now 1α2+1β2=15⇒α2+β2α2β2=15\dfrac{1}{{\alpha}^{2}} + \dfrac{1}{{\beta}^{2}} = 15 ⇒ \dfrac{{\alpha}^{2} + {\beta}^{2}}{{\alpha}^{2}{\beta}^{2}} = 15

⇒λ2+69×1α2β2=15⇒ \dfrac{{\lambda}^{2} + 6}{9} \times \dfrac{1}{{\alpha}^{2}{\beta}^{2}} = 15 ⇒λ2+69×119=15⇒ \dfrac{{\lambda}^{2} + 6}{9} \times \dfrac{1}{\dfrac{1}{9}} = 15

⇒λ2+6=15⇒ {\lambda}^{2} + 6 = 15 ⇒λ=±3⇒ \lambda = \pm 3

Now 6(α3+β3)26{\left({\alpha}^{3} + {\beta}^{3}\right)}^{2} =6((α+β)(α2−αβ+β2))2= 6{\left(\left(\alpha + \beta\right)\left({\alpha}^{2} - \alpha\beta + {\beta}^{2}\right)\right)}^{2}

=6×1×(159+13)2= 6 \times 1 \times {\left(\dfrac{15}{9} + \dfrac{1}{3}\right)}^{2}

=6×1×(2)2=6×4=24= 6 \times 1 \times {\left(2\right)}^{2} = 6 \times 4 = 24
