Sol. The complex numbers
satisfying the condition
.......(i)

are represented by the points inside and on the circle of radius 15 and center at the point
.
The complex numbers having least positive argument and maximum positive arguments in this region are the points of contact of tangents drawn from origin to the circle.
Here,
Least positive argument
and
Maximum positive argument
∴ In 
and 

Thus, complex number at
has modulus 20 and argument 



From the figure,
is the point with least modulus and
is the point with maximum modulus.
Hence,
and
