Question 21.


If x=-5+4, then the value of the expression x4+9x3+35x2-x+4 is


  1.     160
  2.     -160
  3.     60
  4.     -60
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> -160
:
B

x+5 =4i x2+10x+25=-16


Now, x4+9x3+35x2-x+4


=(x2+10x+41)(x2-x+4)-160=-160


Question 22.


1i1+i is equal to


  1.     cosπ2+isinπ2
  2.     cosπ2-isinπ2
  3.     sinπ2+icosπ2
  4.     None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> cosπ2-isinπ2
:
B

1i1+i=(1i)(1i)(1+i)(1i)=1+(i)22i1+1=-i


Which can be written as cosπ2-isinπ2


Question 23.


The values of x and y for which the numbers 3+ix2y and x2 +y+4i are conjugate complex are 


  1.     (-2,-1) or (2,-1)
  2.     (1,-2) or (-2,1)
  3.     (1,2) or (-1,-2)
  4.     None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> (-2,-1) or (2,-1)
:
A

According to condition, 3-ix2 y = x2  + y + 4i


⇒ x2 + y = 3 And x2y = -4 ⇒ x = ±2, y = -1


⇒  (x,y) = (2,-1) or (-2,-1)


Question 24.


For the complex number z, which of the following is true?


  1.     z+¯z is real and z¯z is imaginary
  2.     z+¯z is imaginary and  z¯z is real
  3.     Both z+¯z and z¯z are real.
  4.     Both z+¯z and z¯z are imaginary numbers
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Both z+¯z and z¯z are real.
:
C

Let z=x+iy
Here,  z+¯z=(x+iy)+(xiy)=2x (Real)


And z¯z=(x+iy)(xiy)=x2+y2 (Real).


Question 25.


If z is a complex number such that z2 = (¯z)2,then


  1.     z is purely real
  2.     z is purely imaginary
  3.     Either z is purely real or purely imaginary
  4.     None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Either z is purely real or purely imaginary
:
C

Let z = x+iy, then its coonjucate ¯z = x-iy


Given that z2=(¯z)2


⇒  x2y2 + 2ixy = x2y2 - 2ixy ⇒ 4ixy = 0


if x ≠ 0 then y = 0 and if y ≠ 0 then x = 0  


Question 26.


The number of solutions of the equation z2¯z = 0 is


  1.     1
  2.     2
  3.     3
  4.     4
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 4
:
D

Let z = x+iy, so that ¯z = x - iy, therefore


z2+¯z=0(x2y2+x)+i(2xyy) = 0 


Equating real and imaginary parts , we get 


x2y2+x = 0 .......(i)


And 2xy - y = 0 ⇒ y = 0 or x = 12


        if y = 0 , then (i) gives x2 + x = 0 ⇒ x = 0 or 


                                                            x = -1


If x = 12,


Then x2y2+x=0y2=14+12=34y=±32


Hence, there are four solutions in all. 


 


Question 27.


If  z  is a complex number, then z.¯z  = 0 if and only if


  1.     z=0
  2.     Re(z)=0
  3.     Im(z)=0
  4.     None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> z=0
:
A

Let  z = x+iy, ¯z  = x-iy



∴ z¯z = 0 ⇒ (x+iy)(x-iy) = 0 ⇒ x2+y2 = 0 


It is possible onle when x and y oth simultaneously zero 


i.e, z = 0 +0i = 0  


Question 28.


If -1+3=reiθ, then θ is equal to


  1.     π3
  2.     -π3
  3.     2π3
  4.     -2π3
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 2π3
:
C

Here -1+3=reiθ -1+i3=reiθ


=rcosθ=-1 And rsinθ=3


Hence tanθ=-3  tanθ=tan2π3.Hence θ=2π3


Question 29.


If z1,z2 and z3 are complex numbers such that


|z1|=|z2|=|z3|=1z1+1z2+1z3=1,


then |z1+z2+z3|


  1.     Equal to 1
  2.     Less than 1
  3.     Greater than 3
  4.     Equal to 3
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Equal to 1
:
A

1=1z1+1z2+1z3=z1¯z1z1+z2¯z2z2+z3¯z3z3


(hence, |z1|2=1=z1¯¯¯¯¯z1, etc)


|z1+z2+z3|=|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯z1+z2+z3|= |z1+z2+z3|


(hence,|¯¯¯¯¯z1|=|z1|)


Question 30.


Find the complex number z satisfying the equations z12z8i=53,  z4z8=1


  1.     6
  2.     6±8i
  3.     6+8i, 6+17i
  4.     None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 6+8i, 6+17i
:
C

We have z12z8i=53,  z4z8=1


Let z=x+iy, then


z12z8i=53 3|z-12| = 5|z-8i|


9(x12)2+9y2 = 25x2+25(y8)2     (i)


z4z8=1 |z-4| = |z-8|


(x4)2+y2 = y2+(x8)2  x=6


Putting x=6 in (i), we get y2-25y+136=0


 y=17, 8


Hence z=6+17i or z=6+8i


Trick: Check it with options.
