Argument of $\frac{1-i \sqrt{3}}{1+i \sqrt{3}}$ is

Argument of $\frac{1-i \sqrt{3}}{1+i \sqrt{3}}$ is
  1. $210^{\circ}$
  2. $120^{\circ}$
  3. $240^{\circ}$
  4. $60^{\circ}$

Solution

$z=\frac{1-i \sqrt{3}}{1+i \sqrt{3}} \times \frac{1-i \sqrt{3}}{1-i \sqrt{3}}=\frac{-2-2 \sqrt{3} i}{4}=-\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{3} i$ $\begin{aligned} & \text { Now Arg }(Z)=\pi+\tan ^{-1}\left|\frac{\operatorname{Im}(Z)}{\operatorname{Re}(Z)}\right| \\ & =180^{\circ}+\tan ^{-1}(\sqrt{3})=180^{\circ}+60^{\circ}=240^{\circ}\end{aligned}$
