Correct answer: A

  1. Roots of the quadratic

The equation is x2+x+1=0.x^2+x+1=0.x2+x+1=0. Its roots are the non-real cube roots of unity: z0=ωorω2,z_0=\omega \quad \text{or} \quad \omega^2,z0​=ωorω2, where ω3=1,ω≠1,1+ω+ω2=0.\omega^3=1, \qquad \omega\ne 1, \qquad 1+\omega+\omega^2=0.ω3=1,ω=1,1+ω+ω2=0. So for any root z0z_0z0​ of this equation, z03=1.z_0^3=1.z03​=1.

  1. Reduce the powers 818181 and 939393

Given z=3+6iz081−3iz093.z=3+6iz_0^{81}-3iz_0^{93}.z=3+6iz081​−3iz093​. Since z03=1z_0^3=1z03​=1, powers repeat modulo 333.

Now, 81≡0(mod3),93≡0(mod3).81\equiv 0 \pmod 3, \qquad 93\equiv 0 \pmod 3.81≡0(mod3),93≡0(mod3). Hence, z081=(z03)27=1,z_0^{81}=(z_0^3)^{27}=1,z081​=(z03​)27=1, z093=(z03)31=1.z_0^{93}=(z_0^3)^{31}=1.z093​=(z03​)31=1.

Therefore, z=3+6i(1)−3i(1)=3+3i.z=3+6i(1)-3i(1)=3+3i.z=3+6i(1)−3i(1)=3+3i.

  1. Find the argument

For z=3+3i,z=3+3i,z=3+3i, we have real part =3=3=3 and imaginary part =3=3=3, so zzz lies in the first quadrant.

Thus, arg⁡z=tan⁡−1(33)=tan⁡−1(1)=π4.\arg z=\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{3}\right)=\tan^{-1}(1)=\frac{\pi}{4}.argz=tan−1(33​)=tan−1(1)=4π​.

  1. Check options
  • A: π4\frac{\pi}{4}4π​ ✅
  • B: π6\frac{\pi}{6}6π​ ❌
  • C: π3\frac{\pi}{3}3π​ ❌
  • D: 000 ❌

So the correct answer is A.
