I think the answer needs to be 1. I think this is from "complex numbers" question if the quadratic is in the form x^2-x+1=0 the roots are -omega ,-omega^2. I think with this stuff the problem can be cracked
x+1/x=1
=>x^2-x+1=0
=> x=-omega,-omega^2 (roots of the equation)
Given that,
x^1613+1/x^1613

[splitting the x^1613 into (x^1611)(x^2)]
[now replace x with -omega ]

[ properties:-

1)omega^2+omega+1=0

2) omega^3n=1 ]

=> (-omega)^1611(-omega)^2 + 1/(-omega)^1611(-omega)^2

=> -omega^2-1/omega^2

=> -(omega^4+1)/omega^2
(property 2 )
=> -(omega+1)/omega^2

=> -(-omega^2)/omega^2 (property 1)

=> omega^2/omega^2 => 1(ans)
