4.  none of these.

Solution:

$(\text{x}+\text{iy)}^{\frac{1}{3}}=\text{a}+\text{ib}$

Cubing on both the sides, we get:

$\text{x}+\text{iy}=(\text{a}+\text{ib})^3$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}+\text{iy}=\text{a}^3+(\text{ib})^3+3\text{a}^2\text{bi}+3\text{a}(\text{bi})^2$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}+\text{iy}=\text{a}^3+\text{i}^3\text{b}^3+3\text{a}^2\text{bi}+3\text{i}^2\text{ab}^2$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}+\text{iy}=\text{a}^3-\text{i}\text{b}^3+3\text{a}^2\text{bi}-3\text{ab}^2 \ (\because\text{i}^2=-1,\text{i}^3=-\text{i})$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}+\text{iy}=\text{a}^3-3\text{a}\text{b}^2+\text{i}(-\text{b}^3+3\text{a}^2\text{b})$

$\therefore\text{x}=\text{a}^3-3\text{a}\text{b}^2$ and $\text{y}=3\text{a}^2\text{b}-\text{b}^3$

or, $\frac{\text{x}}{\text{a}}=\text{a}^2-3\text{b}^2$ and $\frac{\text{y}}{\text{b}}=3\text{a}^2-\text{b}^2$

$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{x}}{\text{a}}+\frac{\text{y}}{\text{b}}=\text{a}^2-3\text{b}^2+3\text{a}^2-\text{b}^2$

$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{x}}{\text{a}}+\frac{\text{y}}{\text{b}}=4\text{a}^2-4\text{b}^2$
