If $(1 + i)(1 + 2i)(1 + 3i).....(1 + ni) = a + ib$, then $2.5.10....$$(1 + {n^2})$ is equal to

A

${a^2} - {b^2}$

B

${a^2} + {b^2}$

C

$\sqrt {{a^2} + {b^2}} $

D

$\sqrt {{a^2} - {b^2}} $

Solution

(b)We have
$(1 + i)(1 + 2i)(1 + 3i)…..(1 + ni) = a + ib$ …..$(i)$
==> $(1 – i)(1 – 2i)(1 – 3i)…..(1 – ni) = a – ib$ …..$(ii)$
Multiplying $ (i)$  and $(ii)$, we get $2.5…..(1 + {n^2}) = {a^2} + {b^2}$
