If roots of an equation `x^(n) - 1 = 0` are `1, a_(1), a_(2),.., a_(n - 1)`, then the value of `(1 - a_(1))(1 - a_(2))(1 - a_(3))..(1 - a_(n - 1))` will be

A

`n^(2)//2`

B

n

C

`(-1)^(n)n`

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`"Since "1,a_(1),a_(2),...,a_(n-1)" are roots of "x^(n)-1=0,"we have "`
`x^(n-1)=(x-1)(x-a_(1))(x-a_(2))...(x-a_(n-1))" (1)"`
`"or "(x^(n)-1)/(x-1)=(x-a_(1))(x-a_(2))...(x-a_(n-1))`
`"or "underset(xrarr1)lim(x^(n)-1)/(x-1)=underset(xrarr1)lim[(x-a_(1))(x-a_(2))...(x-a_(n-1))]`
`"or "(1-a_(1))(1-a_(2))...(1-a_(n-1))=n`
