The correct answer is: 53

Given,

6x6-25x5+31x4-31x2+25x-6=0

Let a1,a2, a3, a4, a5, a6 be roots of the given equation,

Now given that sum of two roots is 53,

And by hit and trial we get other two roots as 1 & -1,

So, assuming a1+a2=52 & a3=1, a4=-1

By formula of sum of roots =--256 we get,

a1+a2+a3+a4+a5+a6=256

52+1+-1+a5+a6=256

a5+a6=256-52

a5+a6=53
