Solution

The correct options are
A a2+a5+a8......
B a1+a4+a7......
C 3n1
(1+x+x2)n=a0+a1x+a2x2+....+a2nx2n
Put x=0, 1=a0
Put x=1, 3n=a0+a1+a2+a3+a4+.....+a2n
3n=(a0+a3+a6+a9+....)+(a1+a4+a7+....)+(a2+a5+...) ...(i)
Put x=ω,
(1+ω+ω2)n=a0+a1ω+a2ω2+....+a2nω2n
0=(a0+a3+a6+a9+....)+(a1+a4+a7+....)ω+(a2+a5+...)ω2 ...(ii)

Put x=ω2,
(1+ω2+ω4)n=a0+a1ω2+a2ω4+....+a2n(ω2)2n
0=(a0+a3+a6+a9+....)+(a1+a4+a7+....)ω2+(a2+a5+...)ω4 ...(iii)

Adding (i),(ii),((iii)
3n=3(a0+a3+a6+...)
a0+a3+a6+...=3n1 option C
Putting this in (i),(ii), options A and B also correct.
