Answer:
Correct Answer: 72.(b)
Solution:
Formula:
- Given, $z=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}+\left(\frac{i}{2}\right)^{5}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}-\left(\frac{i}{2}\right)^{5}$
$\because$ Euler’s formula
$$ \begin{aligned} & \quad \begin{array}{l} \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}+\frac{i}{2}=\cos \frac{\pi}{6}+i \sin \frac{\pi}{6}=e^{i(\pi / 6)} \\ and \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}-\frac{i}{2}=\cos \frac{\pi}{6}+i \sin -\frac{\pi}{6}=e^{-i \pi / 6} \ So, $ z=\left(e^{i \pi / 6}\right)^{5}+\left(e^{-i \pi / 6}\right)^{5}=e^{i \frac{5 \pi}{3}}+e^{-i \frac{5 \pi}{3}} $ =\cos \frac{5 \pi}{6}+i \sin \frac{5 \pi}{6}+\cos \frac{5 \pi}{6}-i \sin \frac{5 \pi}{6} \\ \\ \qquad=2 \cos \frac{5 \pi}{6} \end{array} \quad\left[\because e^{i \theta}=\cos \theta+i \sin \theta\right] \end{aligned} $$
$\therefore \quad I(z)=0$ and $R(z)=-2 \cos \frac{\pi}{6}=-\sqrt{3}<0$
$$ \because \cos \frac{5 \pi}{6}=\cos \left(\pi - \frac{\pi}{6}\right)=-\cos \frac{\pi}{6} $$
