    5π/6
  • b)
    π/6
  • c)
    -5π/6
  • d)
    none
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Tarun answered
Ar(z)= tan(1/√3)=π/6


since it lies in second quadrant
so it will be = π -π/6 = 5π/6

The small positive integer ‘n’ for which (1+i)2n = (1-i)2n is :
  • a)
    2
  • b)
    4
  • c)
    8
  • d)
    12
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Vivek Patel answered
The numbers are same on both sides but with a negative sign. So they will be same if (-1)^n is positive.

So values of n are even numbers.

smallest positive even number is 2.

Thus, value of n is 2.

If z3 – 2z+ 4z – 8 = 0 then :
  • a)
    |z| = 1
  • b)
    |z| = 2
  • c)
    |z| = 3
  • d)
    none
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Faizan Khan answered
 z3 – 2z2 + 4z – 8 = 0
⇒ (z − 2)(z2 + 4)=0
⇒ z − 2 = 0    : z = 2
⇒ z2 + 4 = 0  : z = 2i, z = −2i
∴ z = 2, z = 2i, z = −2i
∴ ∣z∣ = 2

i1 + i2 + i3 + i4 + ……… + i1000 =
  • a)
    0
  • b)
    1
  • c)
    -1
  • d)
    none
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Ishita Reddy answered
i = √-1
i = i
i² = (√-1)² = - 1
i³ = i² * i = - 1 * i  = - i
i⁴ = (i²)² = (-1)² = 1
i + i² + i³  + i⁴
= i - 1 - i + 1
= i - i + 1 - 1
= 0 + 0
= 0
i + i² + i³  + i⁴ = 0
⇒ i1 + i2 + i3 + i4 + ……… + i1000
⇒ 0 + 0 +........0(250 times)
⇒ 0

If the cube roots of unity are 1,ω,ω2 then 1 + ω + ω=
  • a)
    0
  • b)
    1
  • c)
    -1
  • d)
     ω
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Ishita Reddy answered
The sum of the three cube roots of unity is zero i.e., 
1+ω+ω2=0.
We know that, the sum of the three cube roots of unity 

|z1 + z2 | =
  • a)
    > |Z1| + |Z2|
  • b)
    ≤|Z1| + |Z2|
  • c)
    ≤ Z1 + Z2
  • d)
    > Z1 + Z2
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Ashwani Mishra answered
|z1 + z2|= .
|z1| + |z2|= .
We have to prove that
 is true.
Square both sides.

Square both sides again.
2x1x2y1y2 ≦ x12y2y12x22 and we get
0 ≦ (y1x2 - x1y2)2.
It is true because x1, x2y1y2 are all real.

Which one is not a root of the fourth root of unity.
  • a)
    i
  • b)
    1
  • c)
    i/√2
  • d)
    -i
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

For any integer n, the nth root of a number k is a number that, when multiplied by itself n times, yields k.
Check the options.
Option a, b, d when multipled by itself for 4 times yields 1.
So the answer is c

Value of ω1999 + ω299 + 1 is :
  • a)
    0
  • b)
    1
  • c)
    -1
  • d)
    2
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Beats Unfolded answered
Divide the numbers in the power by 3. Then look for the remainder. 1999/3 = 1(remainder), 299 = 2(remainder). Now replace 1999 by its respective remainder i.e* 1* & 299 by *2* in the original question which leaves you with ( w^2 + w + 1) which equals "0" according to property. Thanks :)

If a,b (a≠b), are the real roots of the equation (k + 1)(x+ x + 1)+ (k - 1)(x+ x+ 1) = 0, k ≠ 1, 0. 
Then the product of the roots is
  • a)
    (k + 1)/(k - 1)
  • b)
    1
  • c)
    (k2 + 1)/(k2 - 1)
  • d)
    3
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Nikita Singh answered
Since the equation (x+  x + 1) = 0 . oes not have any real roots, the roots of the original equation will be the root of the equation (kx2 + x + k) = 0
 
Hence product of the roots = k/k = 1

If ω is an imaginary cube root of unity, then (1 + ω – ω2)7 equals :
  • a)
     128 ω
  • b)
    128 ω2
     
  • c)
    -128 ω
  • d)
     -128 ω2
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Ishani Rane answered
As w is a cube root of unity,

We have

1+w+w^2 = 0.

So 1+w = -w^2

Now 1+w-w^2 = -w^2-w2 = -2w^2.

So (1+w-w^2)^7 = (-2w^2)^7 = (-2)^7 x w^14.

We also know that w^3 = 1.

So (w^3)^2 also = 1

Similarly w^12=1

So, finally we have w^14 = w^2.
And hence answer is -2^7w^2 = -128w^2

|z1 - z2 | =
  • a)
    > |Z1| + |Z2|
  • b)
    ≤|Z1| + |Z2|
  • c)
    ≤ Z1 + Z2
  • d)
    > Z1 + Z2
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Aarav Sharma answered
|z1- z2| = |(x1 + iy1) - (x2 + iy2)| = |(x1 - x2) + i(y1 - y2)| = sqrt((x1 - x2)^2 + (y1 - y2)^2)
