Correct answer: B

  1. Given quadratic equation

    The roots α,β\alpha,\betaα,β satisfy 3x2+λx−1=0.3x^2+\lambda x-1=0.3x2+λx−1=0.

    Using Vieta's formulas: α+β=−λ3,αβ=−13.\alpha+\beta=-\frac{\lambda}{3},\qquad \alpha\beta=-\frac{1}{3}.α+β=−3λ​,αβ=−31​.

  2. Use the given condition

    We are told: 1α2+1β2=15.\frac{1}{\alpha^2}+\frac{1}{\beta^2}=15.α21​+β21​=15.

    Now, 1α2+1β2=α2+β2α2β2.\frac{1}{\alpha^2}+\frac{1}{\beta^2}=\frac{\alpha^2+\beta^2}{\alpha^2\beta^2}.α21​+β21​=α2β2α2+β2​.

    Since αβ=−13  ⟹  α2β2=19,\alpha\beta=-\frac{1}{3}\implies \alpha^2\beta^2=\frac{1}{9},αβ=−31​⟹α2β2=91​, we get

    \implies 9(\alpha^2+\beta^2)=15 \implies \alpha^2+\beta^2=\frac{5}{3}.$$
  3. Find (α+β)2(\alpha+\beta)^2(α+β)2

    We know α2+β2=(α+β)2−2αβ.\alpha^2+\beta^2=(\alpha+\beta)^2-2\alpha\beta.α2+β2=(α+β)2−2αβ.

    Substitute the values:

    =(\alpha+\beta)^2+\frac{2}{3}.$$ Therefore, $$(\alpha+\beta)^2=\frac{5}{3}-\frac{2}{3}=1.$$ Hence, $$\alpha+\beta=\pm 1.$$
  4. Find α3+β3\alpha^3+\beta^3α3+β3

    Use the identity: α3+β3=(α+β)3−3αβ(α+β).\alpha^3+\beta^3=(\alpha+\beta)^3-3\alpha\beta(\alpha+\beta).α3+β3=(α+β)3−3αβ(α+β).

    Let s=α+βs=\alpha+\betas=α+β. Then s=±1s=\pm1s=±1 and αβ=−13\alpha\beta=-\frac{1}{3}αβ=−31​. So α3+β3=s3−3(−13)s=s3+s.\alpha^3+\beta^3=s^3-3\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)s=s^3+s.α3+β3=s3−3(−31​)s=s3+s.

    Since s=±1s=\pm1s=±1, s3+s=s+s=2s.s^3+s=s+s=2s.s3+s=s+s=2s.

    Thus, α3+β3=±2.\alpha^3+\beta^3=\pm 2.α3+β3=±2.

    Therefore, (α3+β3)2=4.(\alpha^3+\beta^3)^2=4.(α3+β3)2=4.

  5. Compute the required value

    We need 6(α3+β3)2=6⋅4=24.6(\alpha^3+\beta^3)^2=6\cdot 4=24.6(α3+β3)2=6⋅4=24.

  6. Option check

    242424 corresponds to Option B.

Final Answer: 24\boxed{24}24​
