1. z₁=1+2i and z₂=2+3i. Find z₁z₂.
a) 2+6i
b) -4+0i
c) -4+7i
d) 8+7i
Answer: c
Clarification: z₁z₂ = (1+2i) (2+3i)
= 2 + 3i + 4i -6
= -4 + 7i.

2. i² =______________________
a) 1
b) -1
c) i
d) -i
Answer: b
Clarification: We know, i = (sqrt{-1})
=> i² = -1.

3. i⁷ =______________
a) 1
b) -1
c) i
d) -i
Answer: d
Clarification: We know, i = (sqrt{-1})
=> i² = -1 => i⁴ = 1.
So, i⁷ = i⁴.i³ = 1*i²*i = (-1)*i = -i.

4. i²⁴¹ =________________
a) 1
b) -1
c) i
d) -i
Answer: c
Clarification: We know, i = (sqrt{-1})
=> i² = -1 => i⁴ = 1.
So, i²⁴¹ = (i⁴)⁶⁰ * i = 1 * i = i.

5. Square roots of -7 are____________
a) 7i and -7i
b) (sqrt{7}) i
c) –(sqrt{7}) i
d) (sqrt{7}) i and –(sqrt{7}) i
Answer: d
Clarification: We know, i² = -1.
-7 = 7(i²)
Square root of i² is ±i so, square root of -7 are (sqrt{7})i and –(sqrt{7})i.

6. (-i) (8+5i) =________________
a) 8+5i
b) -8-5i
c) -5-8i
d) 5-8i
Answer: d
Clarification: (-i) (8+5i) = -8i – 5 i²
= -8i -5(-1) = 5-8i.

7. (2-i)³ =________________
a) 2-3i
b) 8-i
c) 2-11i
d) 2+11i
Answer: c
Clarification: We know, (a-b)³ = a³-b³-3ab(a-b)
So, (2-i)³ = 2³-(i)³-3(2)(i) (2-i)
= 8-(-i)-6i(2-i)
= 8+i-12i-6
= 2-11i.

8. Is z*(bar{z}) = |z|²?
a) True
b) False
Answer: a
Clarification: Let z=a+ bi
=>(bar{z}) = a-bi
So, z*(bar{z}) = (a+bi) (a-bi) = a²-(bi)² = a²-(b²) (-1) = a²+b²
|z|=(sqrt{a^2+b^2}) => |z|² = a²+b²
Hence, z*(bar{z}) = |z|².

9. Find multiplicative inverse of 3+5i.
a) 87+145i
b) 87-145i
c) 145-87i
d) 145+87i
Answer: b
Clarification: We know, z*(bar{z}) = |z|².
(1/z) = (bar{z})|z|²
z^-1=(3-5i) (3²+5²) = (3-5i) (29) = 87-145i.

10. i^-35 =___________________
a) 1
b) -1
c) i
d) -i
Answer: c
Clarification: We know, i^-35= 1/i³⁵ = i/i³⁶
= i/(i⁴)⁹ = i/1 = i.
