Argument of \(\frac{1-i \sqrt{3}}{1+i \sqrt{3}}\) is

  1. A \(210^{\circ}\)
  2. B \(120^{\circ}\)
  3. C \(240^{\circ}\)
  4. D \(60^{\circ}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(240^{\circ}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(z=\frac{1-i \sqrt{3}}{1+i \sqrt{3}} \times \frac{1-i \sqrt{3}}{1-i \sqrt{3}}=\frac{-2-2 \sqrt{3} i}{4}=-\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{3} i\)
Now Arg (Z) \(=\pi+\tan ^{-1}\left|\frac{\operatorname{Im}(Z)}{\operatorname{Re}(Z)}\right|\)
\(=180^{\circ}+\tan ^{-1}(\sqrt{3})=180^{\circ}+60^{\circ}=240^{\circ}\)
