    The real value of \[\alpha \]for which the expression \[\frac{1-i\sin \alpha }{1+2i\,\sin \alpha }\] is purely real, is:

    A) \[(2n+1)\frac{\pi }{2}\]       

    B)         \[(n+1)\frac{\pi }{2}\]        

    C)         \[n\pi \]                

    D)         none of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Key Idea: If \[z\]is purely real, then the coefficient of imaginary part will be zero. Let          \[z=\frac{1-i\sin \alpha }{1+2i\,\sin \alpha }\]                 \[=\frac{1-i\sin \alpha }{1+2i\sin \alpha }\times \frac{(1-2i\,\sin \alpha )}{(1-2i\sin \alpha )}\]                 \[=\frac{1-2{{\sin }^{2}}\alpha -3i\sin \alpha }{1+4{{\sin }^{2}}\alpha }\]                 \[=\frac{(1-2{{\sin }^{2}}\alpha )-3i\,\sin \alpha }{1+4{{\sin }^{2}}\alpha }\] Since, z is real, therefore the coefficient of imaginary part will be zero. \[\Rightarrow \]    \[3\sin \alpha =0\] \[\Rightarrow \]    \[\alpha =n\pi ,\]where n is integer
