Select one:

a. {1, 3, 5, 15}

b. {+- 1, +- 3, +- 5, +- 15}

c. {+- 1/5, +- 3/5, +-1, +- 3, +- 5, +- 15}

d. {+- 1, +- 5, +- 1/3, +- 5/3, +- 1/5, +- 1/15}

e. None of these

Explanation / Answer

Q1 ans- As roots are complex conjugate of each other so fourth root will also be complex.

Q2 ans- i-3 = 1/i3 = 1/i 2×i = -1/i

Q3 ans- as x tends to infinity y also tends to infinity.

Q4 ans- b/a = 9+4/4+1= 13/5 which matches only with first option.
