    If the number\[\frac{{{(1-i)}^{n}}}{{{(1+i)}^{n-2}}}\]is real and positive, then n is

    A)  any integer     

    B)  \[2\lambda \]

    C)  \[4\lambda +1\]          

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     \[\frac{{{(1-i)}^{n}}}{{{(1+i)}^{n-2}}}=\frac{{{(1-i)}^{n}}}{{{(1+i)}^{n-2}}}\times \frac{{{(1-i)}^{n-2}}}{{{(1-i)}^{n-2}}}\] \[=2{{(-i)}^{n-1}}=2{{(-1)}^{\frac{n-1}{2}}}\] This is positive and real if\[\frac{n-1}{2}\]is even. Let\[\frac{n-1}{2}=2\lambda \] \[\therefore \] \[n=4\lambda +1\]
