  2. B quadrant II
  3. C quadrant III
  4. D quadrant IV
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) quadrant IV

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given,
\[
\begin{aligned}
&\frac{(1-i \sqrt{3})(1+i)}{(\sqrt{3}+i)}=\frac{(1-i \sqrt{3}+i+\sqrt{3})(\sqrt{3}-i)}{(3+1)} \\
&=\frac{1}{4} \cdot\{(1+\sqrt{3})+i(1-\sqrt{3})\} \cdot(\sqrt{3}-i) \\
&=\frac{1}{4} \cdot\{\sqrt{3}(1+\sqrt{3})+i(1-\sqrt{3}) \sqrt{3} \\
&\left.=\frac{1}{4} \cdot\{\sqrt{3}+3+1-\sqrt{3})+(\sqrt{3}-3-1-\sqrt{3}) i\right\} \\
&=\frac{1}{4} \cdot\{4-4 i\}=1-i
\end{aligned}
\]
The point \((1-i)\) in Arg and plane is \((1,-1)\) which lies in IVth quadrant.
