    If \[z=\cos \frac{\pi }{6}+i\sin \frac{\pi }{6}\] then [AMU 2002]

    A) \[|z|\,=1,\,\,\,\,arg\,z=\frac{\pi }{4}\] 

    B) \[|z|\,=1,arg\,z=\frac{\pi }{6}\]

    C) \[|z|\,=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2},\,arg\,z=\frac{5\pi }{24}\]    

    D) \[|z|\,=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2},\,\,arg\,z={{\tan }^{-1}}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[z=\cos \frac{\pi }{6}+i\sin \frac{\pi }{6}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}+\frac{i}{2}\] \[\therefore \,\,|z|\,=\sqrt{\frac{3}{4}+\frac{1}{4}}=1\] and  \[arg\,(z)={{\tan }^{-1}}\,\left( \frac{y}{x} \right)={{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{1/2}{\sqrt{3}/2} \right)={{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \right)\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,arg(z)\,={{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \tan \frac{\pi }{6} \right)=\frac{\pi }{6}\].
