Correct Answer

(C) \(\begin{array}{cccc}\text { A } & \text { B } & \text { C } & \text { D } \\ 5 & 3 & 2 & 1\end{array}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since α, β and γ are the roots of the equation \(x^3-10 x^2+7 x+8=0\), then \(\alpha+\beta+\gamma=10 ...(i)\) \(\alpha \beta+\beta \gamma+\gamma \alpha=7 ...(ii)\) \(\alpha \beta \gamma=-8 ...(iii)\) On squaring equation (i) both sides, we get…
