Step-by-Step Solution
We analyze the statements and using the geometric properties of complex numbers on the unit circle.
For statement , each term represents the chord length on the unit circle corresponding to the angle . Using the inequality for , we have: Summing these chord lengths over all 10 segments gives: Thus, statement is TRUE.
For statement , using the identity along with for , the total sum yields: Thus, statement is TRUE.
Hence, both and are TRUE, which corresponds to Option (C).
