The correct answer is: 10

Given, k=1nk+1ωk+1ω2=340

k=1n1+1ω1+1ω2+2+1ω2+1ω2+........+n+1ωn+1ω2=340

Now, k=1nk+1ωk+1ω2=340

k=1nk2+kω+kω2+1ω3=340

k=1nk2+k1ω+1ω2+1ω3=340

k=1nk2+kω+1ω2+1ω3=340

We know that  ω3=1, 1+ω+ω2=1

k=1nk2+k-ω2ω2+1=340

k=1nk2-k+1=340

Now in terms of n

 k=1nn2- k=1nn+ k=1n1=340 

nn+12n+16-nn+12+n=340

nn+122n+13-1+n=340   

nn+122n-13+n=340   

nn+1n-13+n=340   

n3+2n-1020=0

Putting n=10

1020-1020=0

n-10 is factor of equation n3+2n-1020=0

Equation n3+2n-1020=0 Dividing by n-10

Then, n-10n2+10n+102=0

If n-10=0

n=10

If  n2+10n+102=0

a=1, b=10, c=102

x=-10±100-4082

x=-10±-3082

Value of x is not possible, because value of x is complex

Hence, value of x=10
