Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 4

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since, \(\alpha, \beta, \gamma\) are the roots of the equation \(x^3+4 x+1=0\) \(\therefore \quad \alpha+\beta+\gamma=0\) \(\alpha \beta+\beta \gamma+\gamma \alpha=4\) and \(\quad \alpha \beta \gamma=-1\) \(\therefore(\alpha+\beta)^{-1}+(\beta+\gamma)^{-1}+(\gamma+\alpha)^{-1}\)…
