Let's solve each part of the problem step by step.

### (a) \( \left( \sqrt{2} - i \right) - i\left( 1 - i\sqrt{2} \right) = -i2 \)

We will distribute and simplify.

1. Write the first expression: \( \sqrt{2} - i \).
2. Expand \( i(1 - i\sqrt{2}) \):
   \[
   i(1 - i\sqrt{2}) = i - i^2\sqrt{2} = i + \sqrt{2} \quad \text{(since \( i^2 = -1 \))}.
   \]
3. Now subtract the two expressions:
   \[
   \left( \sqrt{2} - i \right) - \left( i + \sqrt{2} \right).
   \]
   Simplifying:
   \[
   \sqrt{2} - i - i - \sqrt{2} = -2i.
   \]
4. So, we have \( -2i \), which matches \( -i2 \).

Thus, part (a) is verified.

### (b) \( (2, -3)(-2, 1) = (-1, 8) \)

This appears to be multiplication of two complex numbers represented in ordered pair form \( (a, b) \) representing \( a + bi \). We treat them as complex numbers and multiply them using the distributive property.

Let the two complex numbers be:
\[
z_1 = 2 - 3i, \quad z_2 = -2 + i.
\]

Now multiply them:
\[
(2 - 3i)(-2 + i) = 2(-2 + i) - 3i(-2 + i).
\]
Distribute both terms:
\[
2(-2 + i) = -4 + 2i,
\]
\[
-3i(-2 + i) = 6i - 3i^2 = 6i + 3 \quad (\text{since } i^2 = -1).
\]
Now add the results:
\[
-4 + 2i + 6i + 3 = (-4 + 3) + (2i + 6i) = -1 + 8i.
\]

Thus, part (b) is verified as \( (-1, 8) \).

---

### (c) \( (3,1)(3,-1)\left( \frac{1}{5}, \frac{1}{10} \right) = (2,1) \)

Again, we multiply these like complex numbers. Let’s work through it:

1. Start with \( (3,1)(3,-1) \):
   \[
   z_1 = 3 + i, \quad z_2 = 3 - i.
   \]
   Multiply them:
   \[
   (3 + i)(3 - i) = 9 - i^2 = 9 + 1 = 10.
   \]
   So, \( (3,1)(3,-1) = (10, 0) \) (because the imaginary part cancels out).

2. Now multiply by \( \left( \frac{1}{5}, \frac{1}{10} \right) \):
   \[
   (10, 0)\left( \frac{1}{5}, \frac{1}{10} \right).
   \]
   This means we multiply \( 10 \) (the real part) by \( \frac{1}{5} \), and the imaginary part \( 0 \) by \( \frac{1}{10} \):
   \[
   10 \times \frac{1}{5} = 2, \quad 0 \times \frac{1}{10} = 0.
   \]
   Thus, the result is \( (2, 1) \).

Therefore, part (c) is also verified.

All parts have been verified correctly.
