if a + w 1 + b + w 1 + c + w 1 + d + w 1 = w 2
where w is the non real cube root of unity.
find the value of
d + w 2 1 + c + w 2 1 + b + w 2 1 + a + w 2 1 = ?

I didnt understand the second last step that you did ie the summatios that you wrote in red and blue ,could you please explain those

All he did was split the summation into two summations: one with the a k numerator, and one with the ω 2 numerator. Together, the two sums should equal 2 ω 2 . He divided both sides of the red summation by ω 2 and then set the other sum equal to 0 .
Yes, Ryan is right. I have added a line to explain better.

In the same question we also had to prove that a+b+c+d=2abcd , and abd+acd+abc+bcd=2 , how can we do it using the above relations that we proved?

@Avn Bha – I am yet to try the other problem.
Loved the method. Awesome!!! I took both side conjugate and proved it.
Simply take complex conjugate on both sides . and use the fact that a,b,c,d are real numbers so there complex conjugate will be a,b,c,d itself . also both the complex cube roots of unity are also the complex conjugate of each other . thats it!
please can somebody post a solution i was not able to solve this!

Let a , b , c and d be a 1 , a 2 , a 3 and a 4 respectively. Therefore,
\(\begin{array} {} \displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^4 \frac{1}{a_k + \omega} & = \displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^4 \frac{a_k + \omega^2}{(a_k + \omega)(a_k + \omega^2)} \\ & = \displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^4 \frac{a_k + \omega^2}{a_k^2 + (\color{red}{\omega + \omega^2})a_k + \color{blue}{\omega^3}} & \small \color{red} {[\omega^2 + \omega + 1 = 0]} \\ & = \displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^4 \frac{a_k + \omega^2}{a_k^2 \color{red}{-}a_k + \color{blue}{1}} & \small \color{blue} {[\omega^3 = 1 ]} \end{array} \)
⇒ k = 1 ∑ 4 a k 2 − a k + 1 a k + ω 2 = ω 2 = ω 2 ω 3 = 0 + 2 ω 2
⇒ k = 1 ∑ 4 a k 2 − a k + 1 a k + ω 2 k = 1 ∑ 4 a k 2 − a k + 1 1 = 0 + 2 ω 2
⇒ ⎩ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎨ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎧ k = 1 ∑ 4 a k 2 − a k + 1 a k = 0 k = 1 ∑ 4 a k 2 − a k + 1 1 = 2
Similarly,
k = 1 ∑ 4 a k + ω 2 1 = k = 1 ∑ 4 a k 2 − a k + 1 a k + ω = 2 ω = ω 3 2 ω = ω 2 2
