The correct answer is: -1

Given.

α,β,γ are the roots of the equation x3+x2+x+r=0

So, α+β+γ=-1 ....1

And αβ+βγ+γα=1 .......2

And αβγ=-r ........3

Now we know that,

α3+β3+γ3-3αβγ=α+β+γα2+β2+γ2-αβ-βγ-αγ

Now putting the value from all above equation in formula we get,

5+3r=-1α+β+γ2-3αβ+βγ+αγ 

{as α3+β3+γ3=5}

5+3r=-11-31

5+3r=2

r=-1
