Mark the Correct alternative in the following:

If (1 + i) (1 + 2i) (1 + 3i) … (1 + ni) = a + i b, then 2 . 5. 10 . 17 ……..(1 + n2) =


Given that (1 + i) (1 + 2i) (1 + 3i) …. (1 + n i) = a + i b …(1)

We can also say that


(1 - i) (1 - 2i) (1 - 3i) …. (1 - n i) = a - i b …(2)


Multiply and divide the eq no. 2 with eq no. 1



((1)2 – (i)2)((1)2 – (2i)2)……((1)2 – (ni)2) = ((a)2 – (ib)2)


2 × 5 × 10 × …… × (1 + n2) = a2 + b2
