Solution

The correct option is B -1, 1-2ω,1-2ω²
CONVENTIONAL APPROACH:
$(x - 1)^{3} = - 8 \Rightarrow x - 1 = (- 8)^{\frac{1}{3}}$
$\Rightarrow x - 1 = - 2, - 2 w, 2 w^{2} \Rightarrow x = - 1, 1 - 2 w, 1 - 2 w^{2}$
Trick:By inspection, we see that (b) satisfies the equation i.e,
( $- 1 - 1)^{3} + 8 - 0, (1 - 2 w - 1)^{3} + 8 - 0 (1 - 2 w^{2} - 1)^{2} + 8 - 0.$
