The correct answer is: 19

Given that roots of x3+bx+c=0 are α, β, γ

Also given that

βγ=1=-α

α=-1...(i)

Now let us apply the relation between the roots of the cubic equation with the coefficients.

α+β+γ=0...(ii)

αβγ=-c...(iii)

-11=-c

c=1...(iv)

On substituting the value of α=-1 in eq ii we get,

β+γ=1...(v)

αβ+βγ+γα=b

αβ+γ+βγ=b

b=0...(vi)

Hence, equation will be,

x3+1=0

Whose roots will be, -1,-ω, -ω2

We know that 1+ω+ω2=0

α+β+γ=0

-1+β+γ=0

β=-ω, γ=-ω2...(vii)

β3=-ω3=-1 and γ3=-ω6=-1

Hence the value of 

b3+2c3-3α3-6β3-8γ3 is

=0+2+3+6+8

=19

Hence this is the correct option.
