Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 40

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given equation, \(x^3+3 x^2-x-3=0\) \(\Rightarrow \quad x^2(x+3)-1(x+3)=0\) \(\Rightarrow \quad(x-1)(x+1)(x+3)=0\) So, roots \(\alpha=-3, \beta=-1\) and \(\gamma=1\) Therefore, \(\left(1+\alpha^2\right)\left(1+\beta^2\right)\left(1+\gamma^2\right)\) \(=(1+9)(1+1)(1+1)=40\)
