Solution

It is given that \(\begin{aligned} & \frac{3}{(x-1)\left(x^2+x+1\right)}=\frac{1}{x-1}-\frac{x+2}{x^2+x+1} \\ & =f_1(x)-f_2(x) \\ & \text { and } \frac{x+1}{(x-1)^2\left(x^2+x+1\right)}=A f_1(x)+\left(B+\frac{D}{x-1}\right) \\ & f_2(x)+\frac{C}{(x-1)^2} \end{aligned}\) From above informations, it is necessary, that \(\begin{aligned} f_1(x) & =\frac{1}{x-1} \\ \text { and } \quad f_2(x) & =\frac{x+2}{x^2+x+1} \end{aligned}\) So, \(\begin{array}{r} \frac{x+1}{(x-1)^2\left(x^2+x+1\right)}=\frac{A}{x-1}+\frac{(B x-B+D)(x+2)}{\left(x^2+x+1\right)(x-1)} \\ +\frac{C}{(x-1)^2} \end{array}\) \(\begin{aligned} \Rightarrow x+1 & =A(x-1)\left(x^2+x+1\right)+B(x-1) \\ & (x+2)(x-1)+D(x+2)(x-1)+C\left(x^2+x+1\right) \end{aligned}\) On comparing the coefficient, we get coefficient of \(x^3=0 \Rightarrow A+B=0\) coefficient of \(x^2=0 \Rightarrow A-A+2 B-2 B+D+C=0\) \(\begin{array}{llll} \Rightarrow & D+C =0 \\ \therefore & A+B+C+D & =0 \end{array}\) Hence, option (3) is correct.
