The correct answer is: 2

Given,

z1985+z100+1=0  &  z3+2z2+2z+1=0

Now solving,

z3+2z2+2z+1=0

z+1z2-z+1+2zz+1=0

z+1z2+z+1=0

z=-1, z=ω, ω2

Now putting  z=ω in z1985+z100+1 we get,

ω1985+ω100+1

ω2+ω+1=0 as ω3n=1

Also, z=ω2

ω3970+ω200+1

ω+ω2+1=0

Also, z=-1 will not satisfy the equation z1985+z100+1

Hence, there are two common root
