Multiply by (1+i) in numerator and denominator both
(1+2i)(1+i)/(1-i)(1+i)
= (1+i+2i -2)/1+1
= (-1 + 3i)/2
As we see,
Real parts is negative while imaginary parts is positive
Hence this will lie in 4th Quadrant

multiply and divide the complex number with (1+i), we get
(-1+3i)/2
here, real part is on negative x axis and imaginary part on positive y axis.
so the number lies in quadrant 2
