The correct answer is: $\begin{array}{llll}\mathrm{D} & \mathrm{A} & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{F}\end{array}$
Given,
$a=\frac{1-i \sqrt{3}}{2}=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{i \sqrt{3}}{2}$
$\therefore \quad \bar{a}=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{i \sqrt{3}}{2}$
(i)
$\begin{aligned} a \bar{a} & =\left(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{i \sqrt{3}}{2}\right)\left(\frac{1}{2}+\frac{i \sqrt{3}}{2}\right) \\ & =\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2-i^2\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)^2 \\ & =\frac{1}{4}+\frac{3}{4}=1\end{aligned}$
(ii) $\arg \left(\frac{1}{\bar{a}}\right)=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{2} \times \frac{2}{1}\right)=-\frac{\pi}{3}$
(iii) $a-\bar{a}=\left(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{i \sqrt{3}}{2}\right)-\left(\frac{1}{2}+\frac{i \sqrt{3}}{2}\right)=-i \sqrt{3}$
