The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

$\left(1-\omega+\omega^{2}\right)^{5}+\left(1-\omega^{2}+\omega\right)^{5}$ $=\left(-2\omega\right)^{5}+\left(-2\omega^{2}\right)^{5}$ $=-32\left(\omega^{2}+\omega\right)$ $=-32\left(-1\right)=32$.

Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations

Complex Number: Any number that is formed as a+ib is called a complex number. For example: 9+3i,7+8i are complex numbers. Here i = -1. With this we can say that i² = 1. So, for every equation which does not have a real solution we can use i = -1.

Quadratic equation: A polynomial that has two roots or is of the degree 2 is called a quadratic equation. The general form of a quadratic equation is y=ax²+bx+c. Here a≠0, b and c are the real numbers.
