Solution :

To find the value of n, we start by stating the given equation for the complex number z:

z=(1+i)(1+2i)(1+3i)���(1+ni)

We are given that the square of the modulus of z is:

|z|2=44200

Recall the fundamental property of the modulus of complex numbers: the modulus of a product of complex numbers is equal to the product of their individual moduli. That is, for any complex numbers z1,z2,,zn:

|z1z2zn|=|z1||z2||zn|

Squaring both sides of this property gives:

|z1z2zn|2=|z1|2|z2|2|zn|2

Applying this to our expression for z:

|z|2=|1+i|2|1+2i|2|1+3i|2|1+ni|2

For any complex number of the form w=a+bi, the square of its modulus is given by:

|w|2=a2+b2

We calculate the square of the modulus for each term in the product:

|1+i|2=12+12=2
|1+2i|2=12+22=5
|1+3i|2=12+32=10

|1+ni|2=1+n2

Substituting these values back into the equation for |z|2:

2510(1+n2)=44200

Let's evaluate the product step-by-step for successive values of n to find when the product equals 44200:

For n=1:
Product=2

For n=2:
Product=25=10

For n=3:
Product=10(1+32)=1010=100

For n=4:
Product=100(1+42)=10017=1700

For n=5:
Product=1700(1+52)=170026=44200

Thus, the relation is satisfied when n=5.
