(1) p5 = p2 . p3 (2) p3 = p5 – p4
(3) (p1 + p2 + p3 + p4 + p5) = 26 (4) p5 = 11
Ans. [1]
Sol. p5 = α5 + β5
∵ α2 = α + 1
= (α + 1)2.α + (β + 1)2.β
= (α2 + 2α + 1) α + (β2 + 2β + 1)β
= (3α + 2) α + (3β + 2)β
= 3α2 + 2α + 3β2 + 2β
= 5α + 5β + 6 [∵ α + β = 1]
= 5(1) + 6 = 11
p2 = α2 + β2 = α + β + 2 = 3
p3 = α3 + β3 = (α + 1).α + (β + 1).β
= α2 + β2 + α + β
=α+β+3
