Official solution
Z=(1+i)(1+2i)(1+3i)…(1+ni)∣Z∣=∣(1+i)(1+2i)(1+3i)…(1+ni)∣∣Z∣=∣1+i∣⋅∣1+2i∣⋅∣1+3i∣…∣1+ni∣∣Z∣2=∣1+i∣2⋅∣1+2i∣2⋅∣1+3i∣2…∣1+ni∣2∣Z∣2=(12+12)(12+22)(12+32)…(12+n2)z=x+iy,∣z∣2=x2+y2
It is given that
∣Z∣2=44200(1+12)(1+22)(1+32)…(1+n2)=4420044200=23⋅52⋅13⋅17(1+12)(1+22)(1+32)⋅(1+42)(1+52)…(1+n2)=23⋅52⋅13⋅17
solve some product terms
2⋅5⋅(10)⋅(17)⋅(26)…(1+n2)=(2)(5)(2×5)(17)(2×13)
this matches for n=5
so value of n=5
