Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{9}{16}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(x=\cos \alpha+i \sin \alpha, y=\cos \beta+i \sin \beta\) and \(z=\cos \gamma+i \sin \gamma \therefore x+y+z=0 \therefore x^3+y^3+z^3=3 x y z\) \(\Rightarrow(\cos \alpha+i \sin \alpha)^3+(\cos \beta+i \sin \beta)^3+(\cos \gamma+i \sin \gamma)^3\)…
