The correct answer is: 49

Given α, β are the roots of the equation x2+x+1=0.

The given equation is of the form ω2+ω+1=0, which is the condition for ω & ω2 to be the imaginary cube roots of unity.

We know that, if ω is the cube root if unity, then ω3=1, hence, α3=β3=1 also the sum and product of the roots of the quadratic equation are respectively α+β=-1, αβ=1.

Now, (2-α)(2-β)2-α102-α20=(2-α)(2-β)2-α33α2-α36α2

=4-2α-2β+αβ)2-α2-α2

=4-2α+β+αβ)4-2α+α2+α3

=4-2-1+14-2-1+1

=7×7=49
