Dear student
We have,A=α22αA2=α22αα22α=α2+42α+2α2α+2α4+α2=α2+44α4αα2+4Now, A3=A2.A=α2+44α4αα2+4α22α=α3+4α+8α8+2α2+4α24α2+8+2α24α+8α+α3=α3+12α6α2+86α2+8α3+12αNow, given that A3=125and A3=α3+12α2-6α2+82ie.α3+12α2-6α2+82=125α6+144α2+24α4-36α4-64-96α2-125=0α6+48α2-12α4-189=0Take w=α2So, w3-12w2+48w-189=0w-9w2-3w+21=0w-9=0 or w2-3w+21=0  Rejected no solution for xR as per options mentioned in the question   w=9 α2=9α=±3
