Solution:

(i) $(1+i)(1+2 i)$

$=1+2 i+i+2 i^{2}$

$=1+3 i-2 \quad\left(\because i^{2}=-1\right)$

$=-1+3 i$

(ii) $\frac{3+2 i}{-2+i}$

$=\frac{-2 i}{2}$

$=-i$

(v) $\frac{(2+i)^{3}}{2+3 i}$

$=\frac{\left(4+i^{2}+4 i\right)(2+i)}{2+3 i} \quad\left(\because i^{2}=-1\right)$

$=\frac{1}{-2 i-11}$

$=\frac{1}{-2 i-11} \times \frac{-2 i+11}{-2 i+11}$

$=\frac{-2 i+11}{4 i^{2}-121}$

$=\frac{-2 i+11}{-4-121}$

$=\frac{-2 i+11}{-125}$

$=-\frac{11}{125}+\frac{2 i}{125}$

$(\mathrm{x}) \frac{3-4 i}{(4-2 i)(1+i)}$

$=\frac{3-4 i}{4+2 i-2 i^{2}} \quad\left(\because i^{2}=-1\right)$

$=\frac{3-4 i}{6+2 i}$

$=\frac{1}{4}-\frac{3}{4} i$

$(x i)\left(\frac{1}{1-4 i}-\frac{2}{1+i}\right)\left(\frac{3-4 i}{5+i}\right)$

$=\frac{33+31 i}{28-10 i} \times \frac{28+10 i}{28+10 i}$
