Solution

The correct option is D $\sum β^{2} γ^{2} = - 14$
$α + β + γ = - 3 α β + β γ + γ α = 4, α β γ = - 5$

$\sum \frac{1}{α} = \frac{α β + β γ + γ α}{α β γ} = - \frac{4}{5}$

$\sum α^{2} = (α + β + γ)^{2} - 2 (α β + β γ + γ α) = 9 - 8 = 1$

$\sum β^{2} γ^{2} = (α β + β γ + γ α)^{2} - 2 α β γ (α + β + γ) = 16 - 2 (- 5) (- 3) = - 14$
