Topic Complex Numbers
Given z = (√3+i)^(4n+1)/(1-i√3)^(4n)
Step 1 √3+i = 2(cosπ/6 + i sinπ/6)
Step 2 1-i√3 = 2(cos(-π/3)+i sin(-π/3))
Step 3 Arg(z)
= (4n+1)(π/6) - 4n(-π/3)
Step 4 = (4n+1)π/6 + 8nπ/6
Step 5 = (12n+1)π/6

Topic Vectors
Given |a|=4, |b|=4, |c|=5
Condition 1 a·(b+c)=0
⇒ a·b+a·c=0
Condition 2 b·(c+a)=0
⇒ b·c+a·b=0
Condition 3 c·(a+b)=0
⇒ a·c+b·c=0
Solving a·b=a·c=b·c=0
Hence Vectors are mutually perpendicular
|a+b+c|²
=|a|²+|b|²+|c|²
=16+16+25
=57
|a+b+c|
=√57
Answer (d) √57

Topic Differentiation
Given y = Σ tan⁻¹[1/(n²+n+1)]
Identity
tan⁻¹(n+1)-tan⁻¹(n)
= tan⁻¹[1/(n²+n+1)]
Therefore
y = [tan⁻¹2-tan⁻¹1]
+[tan⁻¹3-tan⁻¹2]
+...
+[tan⁻¹(x+1)-tan⁻¹x]
Telescoping Sum
y = tan⁻¹(x+1)-tan⁻¹1
Differentiate

Determinant
Δ=(α-1)²(α+2)
For no unique solution
Δ=0
⇒ α=1 or α=-2
Checking consistency
At α=1
0=1 (inconsistent)
At α=-2
