    Let\[\alpha =\frac{-1+i\sqrt{3}}{2}\]. If \[a=(1+\alpha )\underset{k=0}{\overset{100}{\mathop{\sum }}}\,{{\alpha }^{2k}}\] and \[b=\underset{k=0}{\overset{100}{\mathop{\sum }}}\,{{\alpha }^{3k}}\], then a and b are the roots of the quadratic equation          [JEE MAIN Held on 08-01-2020 Evening]

    A) \[{{x}^{2}}-101x+100=0\]     

    B) \[{{x}^{2}}-102x+101=0\]

    C) \[{{x}^{2}}+101x+100=0\]    

    D) \[{{x}^{2}}+102x+101=0\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[\because \,\,\,\,\,\,\alpha =w\] (complete non real cube of unity) \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,a=\left( 1+w \right)\left( 1+{{w}^{2}}+{{w}^{4}}+{{w}^{6}}+\text{ }.......\text{ }{{w}^{200}} \right)\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,a=\left( 1+w \right)\frac{\left( 1-{{\left( {{w}^{2}} \right)}^{101}} \right)}{\left( 1-{{w}^{2}} \right)}\]                        \[=\frac{\left( 1-w \right)\left( 1+w \right)}{1-{{w}^{2}}}=1\] And \[b=1+{{w}^{3}}+{{w}^{6}}+......\text{ }{{w}^{300}}=101\] Equation \[{{x}^{2}}-\left( 102 \right)x+101=0\]
