The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

$\frac{1-i}{1+i} = \frac{1-i}{1+i} \times\frac{1-i}{1-i} = \frac{1+i^{2} -2i}{1-i^{2}} =-i$
$ \therefore \left(\frac{1-i}{1+i}\right)^{96} = a +ib$
$ \Rightarrow \left(-i\right)^{96} =a + ib$
$ \Rightarrow 1 =a + ib$
$\therefore \left(a,b\right)\equiv \left(1,0\right)$

Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations

Complex Number: Any number that is formed as a+ib is called a complex number. For example: 9+3i,7+8i are complex numbers. Here i = -1. With this we can say that i² = 1. So, for every equation which does not have a real solution we can use i = -1.

Quadratic equation: A polynomial that has two roots or is of the degree 2 is called a quadratic equation. The general form of a quadratic equation is y=ax²+bx+c. Here a≠0, b and c are the real numbers.
