Let $\alpha, \beta$ be the roots of the equation $x^2-\mathrm{ax}-\mathrm{b}=0$ with $\operatorname{Im}(\alpha)<\operatorname{Im}(\beta)$. Let $\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{n}}=\alpha^{\mathrm{n}}-\beta^{\mathrm{n}}$. If $\mathrm{P}_3=-5 \sqrt{7} i, \mathrm{P}_4=-3 \sqrt{7} i, \mathrm{P}_5=11 \sqrt{7} i$ and $\mathrm{P}_6=45 \sqrt{7} i$, then $\left|\alpha^4+\beta^4\right|$ is equal to __________.
Explanation:
We begin with the equations for the roots:
$\alpha + \beta = \mathrm{a}$
$\alpha \beta = -\mathrm{b}$
Given:
$ \mathrm{P}_6 = \mathrm{aP}_5 + \mathrm{bP}_4 $
$ \mathrm{P}_5 = \mathrm{aP}_4 + \mathrm{bP}_3 $
Using the given values:
For $\mathrm{P}_6$:
$ 45 \sqrt{7} i = \mathrm{a} \times 11 \sqrt{7} i + \mathrm{b}(-3 \sqrt{7}) i $
Simplifying, we obtain:
$ 45 = 11 \mathrm{a} - 3 \mathrm{b} \quad \text{(Equation 1)} $
For $\mathrm{P}_5$:
$ 11 \sqrt{7} i = \mathrm{a}(-3 \sqrt{7} i) + \mathrm{b}(-5 \sqrt{7} i) $
Simplifying, we obtain:
$ 11 = -3 \mathrm{a} - 5 \mathrm{b} \quad \text{(Equation 2)} $
Solving these linear equations, we find:
$ \mathrm{a} = 3 $
$ \mathrm{b} = -4 $
Now, we calculate $\left|\alpha^4 + \beta^4\right|$ using the relation:
$ \left|\alpha^4 + \beta^4\right| = \sqrt{(\alpha^4 - \beta^4)^2 + 4 (\alpha^4 \beta^4)} $
From $\mathrm{b} = -4$, we know:
$ \alpha \beta = -\mathrm{b} = 4 \quad \Rightarrow \alpha^4 \beta^4 = (\alpha \beta)^4 = 4^4 = 256 $
Substitute into the relation:
$ \left|\alpha^4 + \beta^4\right| = \sqrt{(-63) + 1024} $
$ = \sqrt{961} = 31 $
Thus, $\left|\alpha^4 + \beta^4\right|$ is equal to 31.

Consider the following two statements :
Statement I: For any two non-zero complex numbers $z_1, z_2,(|z_1|+|z_2|)\left|\frac{z_1}{\left|z_1\right|}+\frac{z_2}{\left|z_2\right|}\right| \leq 2\left(\left|z_1\right|+\left|z_2\right|\right) \text {, and }$
Statement II : If $x, y, z$ are three distinct complex numbers and $\mathrm{a}, \mathrm{b}, \mathrm{c}$ are three positive real numbers such that $\frac{\mathrm{a}}{|y-z|}=\frac{\mathrm{b}}{|z-x|}=\frac{\mathrm{c}}{|x-y|}$, then $\frac{\mathrm{a}^2}{y-z}+\frac{\mathrm{b}^2}{z-x}+\frac{\mathrm{c}^2}{x-y}=1$.
Between the above two statements,
The area (in sq. units) of the region $S=\{z \in \mathbb{C}:|z-1| \leq 2 ;(z+\bar{z})+i(z-\bar{z}) \leq 2, \operatorname{lm}(z) \geq 0\}$ is

Clearly for the shaded region $z_1$ is the intersection of the circle and the line passing through $\mathrm{P}\left(\mathrm{L}_1\right)$ and $\mathrm{z}_2$ is intersection of line $\mathrm{L}_1 \& \mathrm{~L}_2$
Circle : $(x+2)^2+(y-3)^2=1$
$ \begin{aligned} & \mathrm{L}_1: \mathrm{x}+\mathrm{y}-1=0 \\\\ & \mathrm{~L}_2: \mathrm{x}-\mathrm{y}+4=0 \end{aligned} $
On solving circle $\& \mathrm{~L}_1$ we get
$ \mathrm{z}_1:\left(-2-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, 3+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right) $
On solving $\mathrm{L}_1$ and $\mathrm{z}_2$ is intersection of line $\mathrm{L}_1 \& \mathrm{~L}_2$ we get $z_2:\left(\frac{-3}{2}, \frac{5}{2}\right)$
$\begin{aligned} & \left|z_1\right|^2+2\left|z_2\right|^2=14+5 \sqrt{2}+17 \\\\ & =31+5 \sqrt{2}\end{aligned}$

Let $\alpha, \beta$ be the roots of the equation $x^2-\sqrt{6} x+3=0$ such that $\operatorname{Im}(\alpha)>\operatorname{Im}(\beta)$. Let $a, b$ be integers not divisible by 3 and $n$ be a natural number such that $\frac{\alpha^{99}}{\beta}+\alpha^{98}=3^n(a+i b), i=\sqrt{-1}$. Then $n+a+b$ is equal to __________.
Explanation:

$\begin{aligned} & x=\frac{\sqrt{6} \pm i \sqrt{6}}{2}=\frac{\sqrt{6}}{2}(1 \pm i) \\ & \alpha=\sqrt{3}\left(e^{i \frac{\pi}{4}}\right), \beta=\sqrt{3}\left(e^{-i \frac{\pi}{4}}\right) \\ & \therefore \frac{\alpha^{99}}{\beta}+\alpha^{98}=\alpha^{98}\left(\frac{\alpha}{\beta}+1\right) \\ & =\frac{\alpha^{98}(\alpha+\beta)}{\beta}=3^{49}\left(e^{i 99 \frac{\pi}{4}}\right) \times \sqrt{2} \\ & =3^{49}(-1+i) \\ & =3^n(a+i b) \\ & \therefore n=49, a=-1, b=1 \\ & \therefore n+a+b=49-1+1=49 \end{aligned}$
