Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation
${ (\sin x+i\cos x) }^{ 3 }={ \sin }^{ 3 }x-i{ \cos }^{ 3 }x+3i\sin x\cos x(\sin x+i\cos x)$ 
$={ \sin }^{ 3 }x-i{ \cos }^{ 3 }x+3i{ \sin }^{ 2 }x\cos x-3\sin x\cos^{ 2 }x$
$={ \sin }^{ 3 }x-3\sin x\cos^{ 2 }x+i(3{ \sin }^{ 2 }x\cos x-{ \cos }^{ 3 }x)$
Real part is ${ \sin }^{ 3 }x-3\sin x\cos^{ 2 }x$
$=\sin x({ \sin }^{ 2 }x-3\cos^{ 2 }x)$
$=\sin x(-3+3{ \sin }^{ 2 }x+{ \sin }^{ 2 }x)$ 
$=\sin x(-3+4{ \sin }^{ 2 }x)$
$=-(3\sin x-4{ \sin }^{ 3 }x)$
$=-\sin3x$

  2. $\displaystyle \frac{2m\pi}{n(n+1)}$
  3. $\displaystyle \frac{4m\pi}{n(n+1)}$
  4. $\displaystyle \frac{m\pi}{n(n+1)}$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Changing the above expression to Eular's form, we get
$e^{i\theta}e^{2i\theta}e^{3i\theta}...e^{in\theta})=1$
$e^{i(\theta+2\theta+3\theta+...n\theta}=1$
$e^{i\cfrac{n(n+1)}{2}\theta}=e^{2m\pi}$
Therefore, simplifying we get
$\dfrac{n(n+1)}{2}\theta=2m\pi$
$\theta=\dfrac{4m\pi}{n(n+1)}$

  2. Both the statements are true, but Statement 2 is not the correct explanation for Statement 1.

  3. Statement 1 is true and Statement 2 is false.

  4. Statement 1 is false and Statement 2 is true.

B Correct answer
Explanation

Let
$z=(cos\theta+isin\theta)^{3}$
Taking the fifth root, we get
$z^{\dfrac{1}{5}}=(cos\theta+isin\theta)^{\dfrac{3}{5}}=x$
Now there will be $5$, corresponding values of $x$.
Product if all the $5$ values will be
$x^{5}$
$=(cos\theta+isin\theta)^{3}$
$=cos3\theta+isin3\theta$ ... using De-Moivre's rule.
Now consider $x^{n}=1$
Hence if $n$ is odd, the nth roots of unity will be
$1,a _{1},\overline{a _{1}},a _{2},\overline{a _{2}}....$
Now $a _{1}.\overline{a _{1}}=|a _{1}|^{2}=1$
$a _{2}.\overline{a _{2}}=|a _{2}|^{2}=1$
:
:
Hence one root will be one, and the rest $n-1$ roots will occur in pair with its conjugate.
Hence product will be $1$.
Substituting, $n=5$, we get the roots as
$1,a _{1},\overline{a _{1}},a _{2},\overline{a _{2}}$
Hence product if all the roots will be $1$. And sum of all the roots will be $0$.
Both the statements are true, but Statement 2 is not the correct explanation for Statement 1.

$cis\left( \theta  \right) =\cos { \theta  } +i\sin { \theta  } $
De Moivre's Theorem for fractional power:
${ \left( cis\theta  \right)  }^{ \frac { 1 }{ n }  }=cis\left( \frac { 2k\Pi +\theta  }{ n }  \right) $

${ \left( x-3 \right)  }^{ 3 }+1=0$
$\Longrightarrow x=3+{ \left( cis\left( \Pi  \right)  \right)  }^{ \frac { 1 }{ 3 }  }$
$x=3+{ \left( cis\left( \frac { 2k\Pi +\Pi  }{ 3 }  \right)  \right)  }$      ...{De Moivre's Theorem}

$x _{ 1 }=3+cis\left( \frac { \Pi  }{ 3 }  \right)$ 

for $k=1$,
$x _{ 2 }=3+cis\left( \Pi  \right) $

for $k=2,$
$x _{ 3 }=3+cis\left( \frac { 5\Pi  }{ 3 }  \right) $

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

$\displaystyle { \left( 2+z \right)  }^{ 6 }{ +\left( 2-z \right)  }^{ 6 }=0\quad \quad & \quad w=\frac { 2+z }{ 2-z } $

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow { \left( \frac { 2+z }{ 2-z }  \right)  }^{ 6 }=-1\ \Rightarrow { w }^{ 6 }=-1$

$\displaystyle { \therefore \quad w=\left( -1 \right)  }^{ \frac { 1 }{ 6 }  }$

$\displaystyle \because \quad \frac { 2+z }{ 2-z } =w\ \Rightarrow 2\left( w-1 \right) =z\left( w+1 \right) $

$\displaystyle \therefore \quad z=\frac { 2\left( w-1 \right)  }{ w+1 } $

$\displaystyle { \because \quad w=\left( -1 \right)  }^{ \frac { 1 }{ 6 }  }$

$\displaystyle w={ \left( \cos { \pi  } +i\sin { \pi  }  \right)  }^{ \frac { 1 }{ 6 }  }=\cos { \left( \frac { 2p\pi +\pi  }{ 6 }  \right) +i } \sin { \left( \frac { 2p\pi +\pi  }{ 6 }  \right)  } $       ..{De Moivre's Theorem}

Where$ p=0,1,2,3,4,5.$

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow w={ e }^{ i\frac { \left( 2p+1 \right) \pi  }{ 6 }  }$
Hence, option 'D' is correct.

A Correct answer
Explanation

$\displaystyle { \left( \frac { 1+ia }{ 1-ia }  \right)  }^{ 4 }=z\quad $         ...(1)
$\displaystyle & \quad \left| z \right| =1$
$\displaystyle z=cisA=\cos { A } +i\sin { A } $
Substitute $z$  in equation (1)
$\displaystyle { \left( \frac { 1+ia }{ 1-ia }  \right)  }={ cisA }^{ \frac { 1 }{ 4 }  }=cis\frac { 2k\pi +A }{ 4 } $       ...{De Moivre's Theorem}
where $ k=0,1,2,3$

Let $\displaystyle B=\frac { 2k\pi +A }{ 4 } $

$\displaystyle \Longrightarrow ia=\frac { -1+cisB }{ 1+cisB } =\frac { \sin { \frac { B }{ 2 } \left( i\cos { \frac { B }{ 2 }  } -\sin { \frac { B }{ 2 }  }  \right)  }  }{ \cos { \frac { B }{ 2 } \left( \cos { \frac { B }{ 2 }  } +i\sin { \frac { B }{ 2 }  }  \right)  }  } $

$\displaystyle \Longrightarrow ia=\frac { i\sin { \frac { B }{ 2 } \left( \cos { \frac { B }{ 2 }  } +i\sin { \frac { B }{ 2 }  }  \right)  }  }{ \cos { \frac { B }{ 2 } \left( \cos { \frac { B }{ 2 }  } +i\sin { \frac { B }{ 2 }  }  \right)  }  } $

$\displaystyle \Longrightarrow a=\tan { \frac { B }{ 2 }  } $

Therefore roots are real and distinct.

$\displaystyle { z }^{ n }={ \left( z+1 \right)  }^{ n }$   where, $n\ge 2$     ...(1)

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow { \left( \frac { z+1 }{ z }  \right)  }^{ n }=1=\cos { 0 } +i\sin { 0 } $

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow \frac { z+1 }{ z } ={ \left( \cos { 0 } +i\sin { 0 }  \right)  }^{ \frac { 1 }{ n }  }$

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow \frac { z+1 }{ z } =\cos { \frac { 2k\Pi  }{ n }  } +i\sin { \frac { 2k\Pi  }{ n }  } $      ...{De Moivre's Theorem}

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow z=\frac { -1 }{ 1-\cos { \frac { 2k\Pi  }{ n }  } -i\sin { \frac { 2k\Pi  }{ n }  }  } \quad =\frac { -1 }{ 2\sin { \frac { k\Pi  }{ n } \left( \sin { \frac { k\Pi  }{ n } -i } \cos { \frac { k\Pi  }{ n }  }  \right)  }  } =\frac { -1\left( \sin { \frac { k\Pi  }{ n } +i } \cos { \frac { k\Pi  }{ n }  }  \right)  }{ 2\sin { \frac { k\Pi  }{ n }  }  } $

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow z=\frac { -\left( 1+i\cot { \frac { k\Pi  }{ n }  }  \right)  }{ 2 } $

Where$ k=1,2,3,....,n-1 $     ..{Since at k=0, z is not defined}

$\because \quad Re\left( z \right) $ is constant.
Therfore roots of ${ z }^{ n }={ \left( z+1 \right)  }^{ n }$ lie on straight line parellel to y-axis.

$\displaystyle \because \quad z=\frac { -\left( 1+i\cot { \frac { k\Pi  }{ n }  }  \right)  }{ 2 } $ and $k=1,2,3,....,(n-1)$

Sum of $\displaystyle Re\left( z \right) $= $-\frac { \left( n-1 \right)  }{ 2 } $.
