Question
For positive integers n1,n2 the value of the expression  (1+i)n1+(1+i3)n1+(1+i5)n2 + (1+i7)n2 where i=21 is a real number if and only if        
Options:
A .  n1=n2+1
B .  n1=n2-1
C .  n1=n2
D .  n1>0,n2>0
Answer: Option D
:
D
Using i3=i,i5=iandi7=i, we can write the given expression as
(1+i)n1+(1+i3)n1+(1+i5)n2+(1+i7)n2wherei=21=2[n1C0+n1C2(i)2+n1C4(i)4+n1C6(i)6+]+2[n2C0+n2C2(i)2+n2C4(i)4+n2C6(i)6+]=2[n1C0n1C2+n1C4n1C6+]+2[n2C0n2C2+n2C4n2C6+]
This is a real number irrespective of values of n1 and n2.
