Abstract
For a natural number which is co-prime to Char, let and denote the cyclic codes of length over generated by the -th cyclotomic polynomial and the polynomial , respectively. In \cite{BHAGAT2025}, the minimum distances of the codes and were determined, and a conjecture regarding the minimum distances of their Euclidean duals was proposed. In this article, we completely describe the structure of these dual codes and as a consequence, we find their minimum distances explicitly as functions of . In fact, we resolve the conjecture in \cite{BHAGAT2025} by proving that the minimum distance of the Euclidean dual of each of and is equal to .
