Correct answer: A, C, D

  1. Understand the sets

We are given S={a+b2:a,b∈Z}.S=\{a+b\sqrt2:a,b\in\mathbb Z\}.S={a+b2​:a,b∈Z}. Also, T1={(−1+2)n:n∈N},T2={(1+2)n:n∈N}.T_1=\{(-1+\sqrt2)^n:n\in\mathbb N\},\qquad T_2=\{(1+\sqrt2)^n:n\in\mathbb N\}.T1​={(−1+2​)n:n∈N},T2​={(1+2​)n:n∈N}.

We must check each option independently.


  1. Useful algebraic fact

Notice that −1+2=2−1.-1+\sqrt2=\sqrt2-1.−1+2​=2​−1. Also, (1+2)(2−1)=1,(1+\sqrt2)(\sqrt2-1)=1,(1+2​)(2​−1)=1, so 2−1=11+2.\sqrt2-1=\frac1{1+\sqrt2}.2​−1=1+2​1​.

Further, if a number is of the form a+b2a+b\sqrt2a+b2​ with integers a,ba,ba,b, then its powers also remain of the same form, because (a+b2)(c+d2)=(ac+2bd)+(ad+bc)2,(a+b\sqrt2)(c+d\sqrt2)=(ac+2bd)+(ad+bc)\sqrt2,(a+b2​)(c+d2​)=(ac+2bd)+(ad+bc)2​, and the new coefficients are again integers.

Thus powers of 1+21+\sqrt21+2​ and 2−1\sqrt2-12​−1 belong to SSS.


  1. Option A: Z∪T1∪T2⊂S\mathbb Z\cup T_1\cup T_2\subset SZ∪T1​∪T2​⊂S
  • Every integer m∈Zm\in\mathbb Zm∈Z can be written as m=m+02∈S.m=m+0\sqrt2\in S.m=m+02​∈S. Hence Z⊂S\mathbb Z\subset SZ⊂S.

  • Since 1+2∈S,1+\sqrt2\in S,1+2​∈S, all its natural powers lie in SSS. Hence T2⊂S.T_2\subset S.T2​⊂S.

  • Since −1+2=2−1∈S,-1+\sqrt2=\sqrt2-1\in S,−1+2​=2​−1∈S, all its natural powers also lie in SSS. Hence T1⊂S.T_1\subset S.T1​⊂S.

Therefore, Z∪T1∪T2⊂S.\mathbb Z\cup T_1\cup T_2\subset S.Z∪T1​∪T2​⊂S.

So A is true.


  1. Option B: T1∩(0,12024)=ϕT_1\cap\left(0,\frac1{2024}\right)=\phiT1​∩(0,20241​)=ϕ

Let r=2−1.r=\sqrt2-1.r=2​−1. Then 0<r<1.0<r<1.0<r<1. So the sequence rnr^nrn is positive and tends to 000. Hence for sufficiently large nnn, 0<rn<12024.0<r^n<\frac1{2024}.0<rn<20241​. So there do exist elements of T1T_1T1​ inside the interval (0,12024)\left(0,\frac1{2024}\right)(0,20241​).

In fact, since r=11+2≈0.4142,r=\frac1{1+\sqrt2}\approx 0.4142,r=1+2​1​≈0.4142, we get r9≈(0.4142)9≈0.00035<12024≈0.000494.r^9\approx (0.4142)^9\approx 0.00035<\frac1{2024}\approx 0.000494.r9≈(0.4142)9≈0.00035<20241​≈0.000494. Thus (−1+2)9∈T1∩(0,12024).(-1+\sqrt2)^9\in T_1\cap\left(0,\frac1{2024}\right).(−1+2​)9∈T1​∩(0,20241​).

Therefore the intersection is not empty.

So B is false.


  1. Option C: T2∩(2024,∞)≠ϕT_2\cap(2024,\infty)\neq\phiT2​∩(2024,∞)=ϕ

Let s=1+2≈2.4142>1.s=1+\sqrt2\approx 2.4142>1.s=1+2​≈2.4142>1. Then sn→∞s^n\to\inftysn→∞ as n→∞n\to\inftyn→∞. Hence for sufficiently large nnn, sn>2024.s^n>2024.sn>2024. So there exists at least one element of T2T_2T2​ in (2024,∞)(2024,\infty)(2024,∞).

For example, (1+2)9≈(2.4142)9≈1681<2024,(1+\sqrt2)^9\approx (2.4142)^9\approx 1681<2024,(1+2​)9≈(2.4142)9≈1681<2024, (1+2)10≈4059>2024.(1+\sqrt2)^{10}\approx 4059>2024.(1+2​)10≈4059>2024. Thus (1+2)10∈T2∩(2024,∞).(1+\sqrt2)^{10}\in T_2\cap(2024,\infty).(1+2​)10∈T2​∩(2024,∞).

So C is true.


  1. Option D: For any a,b∈Za,b\in\mathbb Za,b∈Z, cos⁡(π(a+b2))+isin⁡(π(a+b2))∈Z  ⟺  b=0.\cos(\pi(a+b\sqrt2))+i\sin(\pi(a+b\sqrt2))\in\mathbb Z\iff b=0.cos(π(a+b2​))+isin(π(a+b2​))∈Z⟺b=0.

Let z=cos⁡(π(a+b2))+isin⁡(π(a+b2))=eiπ(a+b2).z=\cos(\pi(a+b\sqrt2))+i\sin(\pi(a+b\sqrt2))=e^{i\pi(a+b\sqrt2)}.z=cos(π(a+b2​))+isin(π(a+b2​))=eiπ(a+b2​).

We need to understand when z∈Zz\in\mathbb Zz∈Z.

Since ∣z∣=1,|z|=1,∣z∣=1, any integer value of zzz must be an integer of modulus 111. The only such integers are z=1orz=−1.z=1\quad\text{or}\quad z=-1.z=1orz=−1.

So z∈Zz\in\mathbb Zz∈Z iff eiπ(a+b2)=±1,e^{i\pi(a+b\sqrt2)}=\pm 1,eiπ(a+b2​)=±1, which happens iff a+b2∈Z.a+b\sqrt2\in\mathbb Z.a+b2​∈Z. Because a∈Za\in\mathbb Za∈Z, this requires b2∈Z.b\sqrt2\in\mathbb Z.b2​∈Z. But b∈Zb\in\mathbb Zb∈Z and 2\sqrt22​ is irrational, so this is possible iff b=0.b=0.b=0.

Conversely, if b=0b=0b=0, then z=cos⁡(πa)+isin⁡(πa)=(−1)a∈{1,−1}⊂Z.z=\cos(\pi a)+i\sin(\pi a)=(-1)^a\in\{1,-1\}\subset\mathbb Z.z=cos(πa)+isin(πa)=(−1)a∈{1,−1}⊂Z.

Hence cos⁡(π(a+b2))+isin⁡(π(a+b2))∈Z  ⟺  b=0.\cos(\pi(a+b\sqrt2))+i\sin(\pi(a+b\sqrt2))\in\mathbb Z \iff b=0.cos(π(a+b2​))+isin(π(a+b2​))∈Z⟺b=0.

So D is true.
