  3. C 16 and 8
  4. D 0 and \(-16\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 16 and 0

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since, \(\alpha, \beta\) and \(\gamma\) are the roots of the equation \(x^{3}-8 x+8=0\), then \(\begin{gathered} \alpha+\beta+\gamma=0, \alpha \beta+\beta \gamma+\gamma \alpha=-8 \\ \alpha \beta \gamma=-8 ...(i) \end{gathered}\) Therefore, \((\alpha+\beta+\gamma)^{2}=0\)…
