    If \[{{z}^{2}}+z+1=0,\] where z is complex number, then the value of \[{{\left( z+\frac{1}{z} \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( {{z}^{2}}+\frac{1}{{{z}^{2}}} \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( {{z}^{3}}+\frac{1}{{{z}^{3}}} \right)}^{2}}\] \[+....+{{\left( {{z}^{6}}+\frac{1}{{{z}^{6}}} \right)}^{2}}\]is

    A) 18        

    B) 54   

    C) 6                     

    D) 12

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[{{\operatorname{z}}^{2}} + z +1 = 0 \,\Rightarrow \,\,\,z = \omega  or {{\omega }^{2}}\] So, \[\operatorname{z}+\frac{1}{z}=\omega +{{\omega }^{2}} =-1\] \[{{\operatorname{z}}^{2}}+\frac{1}{{{z}^{2}}}={{\omega }^{2}}+\omega  =-1\] \[{{\operatorname{z}}^{3}}+\frac{1}{{{z}^{3}}}=\,\,{{\omega }^{3}}+{{\omega }^{3}} =\,\,2\] \[{{\operatorname{z}}^{4}}+\frac{1}{{{z}^{4}}}=\,-1,\,\,{{z}^{5}}+\frac{1}{{{z}^{2}}}=-1\,\,and\,\,{{z}^{6}}+\frac{1}{{{z}^{6}}}=2\] \[\therefore ~The given sum =1+1+4+1+1+4=12\]
