Question

Assertion (A) and Reason (R)

Assertion (A):
\[ (\cos\theta+i\sin\theta)^{p/q} \] has \(q\) and only \(q\) different roots, where \(q\) is a positive integer.

Reason (R):
\[ (-1)^{1/3} \] has three different roots.

• A. Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
• B. Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
• C. (A) is correct but (R) is not correct
• D. (A) is not correct but (R) is correct

Hint:

A complex number generally has \(q\) distinct \(q\)th roots.
