A both are false
B only (S1) is true
C only (S2) is true
D both are true
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

We are given that aCa \in \mathbb{C} and zCz \in \mathbb{C}.

Let a=x1+iy1a = x_1 + iy_1 and z=x2+iy2z = x_2 + iy_2 where x1,y1,x2,y2Rx_1, y_1, x_2, y_2 \in \mathbb{R} We are also given two sets A and B defined as follows : - A is the set of all complex numbers zz for which the real part of (a+z)(a + \overline{z}) is greater than the imaginary part of (a+z)(\overline{a} + z). - B is the set of all complex numbers zz for which the real part of (a+z)(a + \overline{z}) is less than the imaginary part of (a+z)(\overline{a} + z).

Statement (S1) says : If the real part and imaginary part of aa are both positive, then the set A contains all the real numbers.

Statement (S2) says : If the real part and imaginary part of aa are both negative, then the set B contains all the real numbers.

We need to determine which of these statements are true.

Let's evaluate each statement.

1.

Statement (S1) : For zAz \in A, Re(a+z)>Im(a+z)Re(a + \overline{z}) > Im(\overline{a} + z) This can be re-written as x1+x2>y2y1x_1 + x_2 > y_2 - y_1 If we consider only real z (i.e. y2=0y_2 = 0) and given that x1,y1>0x_1, y_1 > 0, then the condition simplifies to x2>(x1+y1)x_2 > -(x_1 + y_1).

This indicates that A covers a part of the negative real axis, but not the entire real axis.

Therefore, Statement (S1) is false.

2.

Statement (S2) : For zBz \in B, Re(a+z)<Im(a+z)Re(a + \overline{z}) < Im(\overline{a} + z) This can be re-written as x1+x2<y2y1x_1 + x_2 < y_2 - y_1 If we consider only real z (i.e. y2=0y_2 = 0) and given that x1,y1<0x_1, y_1 < 0, then the condition simplifies to x2<(x1+y1)x_2 < -(x_1 + y_1).

This indicates that B covers a part of the positive real axis, but not the entire real axis.

Therefore, Statement (S2) is false.

Therefore, both (S1) and (S2) are false, so the answer is Option A : both are false.

Q92
Let w1w_{1} be the point obtained by the rotation of z1=5+4iz_{1}=5+4 i about the origin through a right angle in the anticlockwise direction, and w2w_{2} be the point obtained by the rotation of z2=3+5iz_{2}=3+5 i about the origin through a right angle in the clockwise direction. Then the principal argument of w1w2w_{1}-w_{2} is equal to :
A π+tan189-\pi+\tan ^{-1} \dfrac{8}{9}
B π+tan1335-\pi+\tan ^{-1} \dfrac{33}{5}
C πtan189\pi-\tan ^{-1} \dfrac{8}{9}
D πtan1335\pi-\tan ^{-1} \dfrac{33}{5}
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

To solve the problem, let's break it down step by step.

Step 1 : Find w1w_{1} Given z1=5+4iz_{1} = 5 + 4i.

When you rotate z1z_{1} by 9090^{\circ} anticlockwise about the origin, the real part becomes negative of the imaginary part of z1z_{1}, and the imaginary part becomes the real part of z1z_{1}.

Therefore, w1w_{1} becomes : w1=4+5iw_{1} = -4 + 5i Step 2 : Find w2w_{2} Given z2=3+5iz_{2} = 3 + 5i.

When you rotate z2z_{2} by 9090^{\circ} clockwise about the origin, the real part becomes the imaginary part of z2z_{2}, and the imaginary part becomes negative of the real part of z2z_{2}.

Therefore, w2w_{2} becomes : w2=53iw_{2} = 5 - 3i Step 3 : Calculate w1w2w_{1} - w_{2} w1w2=(4+5i)(53i)w_{1} - w_{2} = (-4 + 5i) - (5 - 3i) w1w2=9+8iw_{1} - w_{2} = -9 + 8i Step 4 : Find the principal argument To find the principal argument, we need to compute the tangent inverse of the ratio of the imaginary part to the real part.

Argument = tan1(Imaginary partReal part)\tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac{\text{Imaginary part}}{\text{Real part}}\right) Argument = tan1(89)\tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac{8}{-9}\right) Argument = tan1(89)-\tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac{8}{9}\right) Since it's in the third quadrant, the principal argument is : Argument = π+(tan1(89))\pi + (-\tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac{8}{9}\right)) Argument = πtan1(89)\pi - \tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac{8}{9}\right) So, the correct option is : Option C : πtan189\pi-\tan^{-1} \dfrac{8}{9}

Q93
Let S={z=x+iy:2z3i4z+2iisarealnumber}S = \left\{ {z = x + iy:{{2z - 3i} \over {4z + 2i}}\,\mathrm{is\,a\,real\,number}} \right\}. Then which of the following is NOT correct?
A y+x2+y214y + {x^2} + {y^2} \ne - {1 \over 4}
B (x,y)=(0,12)(x,y) = \left( {0, - {1 \over 2}} \right)
C x=0x = 0
D y(,12)(12,)y \in \left( { - \infty , - {1 \over 2}} \right) \cup \left( { - {1 \over 2},\infty } \right)
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

Given that z=x+iyz=x+i y

 then 2z3i4z+2i=2(x+iy)3i4(x+iy)+2i=2x+i(2y3)4x+i(4y+2)×4xi(4y+2)4xi(4y+2)=8x2+(2y3)(4y+2)(4x)2+(4y+2)2+i(4x(2y3)2x(4y+2)(4x)2+(4y+2)2)\begin{aligned} & \text{ then } \frac{2 z-3 i}{4 z+2 i}=\frac{2(x+i y)-3 i}{4(x+i y)+2 i} \\\\ & =\frac{2 x+i(2 y-3)}{4 x+i(4 y+2)} \times \frac{4 x-i(4 y+2)}{4 x-i(4 y+2)} \\\\ & =\frac{8 x^2+(2 y-3)(4 y+2)}{(4 x)^2+(4 y+2)^2}+i\left(\frac{4 x(2 y-3)-2 x(4 y+2)}{(4 x)^2+(4 y+2)^2}\right) \end{aligned}

Since, 2z3i4z+2i\dfrac{2 z-3 i}{4 z+2 i} is Real Img(2z3i4z+2i)=0\Rightarrow \operatorname{Img}\left(\dfrac{2 z-3 i}{4 z+2 i}\right)=0

4x(2y3)2x(4y+2)=02x(4y64y2)=02x(8)=0x=0\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow 4 x(2 y-3)-2 x(4 y+2)=0 \\\\ & \Rightarrow 2 x(4 y-6-4 y-2)=0 \\\\ & \Rightarrow 2 x(-8)=0 \Rightarrow x=0 \end{aligned}

Also, (4x)2+(4y+2)20y+x2+y214(4 x)^2+(4 y+2)^2 \neq 0 \Rightarrow y+x^2+y^2 \neq \dfrac{-1}{4} If x=0x=0, then y12y \neq-\dfrac{1}{2}

Q94
Let the complex number z=x+iyz = x + iy be such that 2z3i2z+i{{2z - 3i} \over {2z + i}} is purely imaginary. If x+y2=0{x} + {y^2} = 0, then y4+y2y{y^4} + {y^2} - y is equal to :
A 43{4 \over 3}
B 32{3 \over 2}
C 34{3 \over 4}
D 23{2 \over 3}
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

Let, z=x+iyz=x+i y So, 2z3i2z+i\dfrac{2 z-3 i}{2 z+i} is purely imaginary   ~~[Given]

 Now, (2z3i2z+i)+(2z3i2z+i)=02z3i2z+i+2zˉ+3i2zˉi=0\begin{aligned} & \text{ Now, }\left(\frac{2 z-3 i}{2 z+i}\right)+\left(\frac{\overline{2 z-3 i}}{2 z+i}\right)=0 \\\\ & \Rightarrow \frac{2 z-3 i}{2 z+i}+\frac{2 \bar{z}+3 i}{2 \bar{z}-i}=0 \end{aligned}
(2z3i)(2zˉi)+(2zˉ+3i)(2z+i)=0{4z26izˉ2iz3}+{4z2+6iz+2izˉ3}=08z24izˉ+4iz6=08(x2+y2)4i(xiy)+4i(x+iy)6=08(x2+y2)4ix4y+4ix4y6=08(x2+y2)8y6=04(x2+y2)4y3=0\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow(2 z-3 i)(2 \bar{z}-i)+(2 \bar{z}+3 i)(2 z+i)=0 \\\\ & \Rightarrow\left\{4|z|^2-6 i \bar{z}-2 i z-3\right\}+\left\{4|z|^2+6 i z+2 i \bar{z}-3\right\}=0 \\\\ & \Rightarrow 8|z|^2-4 i \bar{z}+4 i z-6=0 \\\\ & \Rightarrow 8\left(x^2+y^2\right)-4 i(x-i y)+4 i(x+i y)-6=0 \\\\ & \Rightarrow 8\left(x^2+y^2\right)-4 i x-4 y+4 i x-4 y-6=0 \\\\ & \Rightarrow 8\left(x^2+y^2\right)-8 y-6=0 \\\\ & \Rightarrow 4\left(x^2+y^2\right)-4 y-3=0 \end{aligned}

Given that, x+y2=0x+y^2=0

x=y24(y4+y2)4y=3y4+y2y=34\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow x=-y^2 \\\\ & \Rightarrow 4\left(y^4+y^2\right)-4 y=3 \\\\ & \Rightarrow y^4+y^2-y=\frac{3}{4} \end{aligned}

Hence, required answer is 34\dfrac{3}{4}.

Q95

 and n=1m=8(1in!)=x+iyn=18(1in!)=8(i+i2+i6+1+1+1+1+1)=5ix=5,y=1x+y+m=51+8=12\begin{aligned} & \text{ and } \sum_{n=1}^{\substack{m=8}}\left(1-i^{n!}\right)=x+i y \\ & \therefore \sum_{n=1}^8\left(1-i^{n!}\right)=8-\left(i+i^2+i^6+1+1+1+1+1\right) \\ & =5-i \\ & \therefore x=5, y=-1 \\ & x+y+m=5-1+8=12 \end{aligned}

Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

Let z=x+iyz=x+i y

z2=x2y2+2ixyaz2+bz=a(x2y2+2ixy)+b(x+iy)=a(x2y2)+bx+2aixy+biy\begin{array}{ll} &\Rightarrow z^2=x^2-y^2+2 i x y \\\\ &\therefore a z^2+b z \\\\ & =a\left(x^2-y^2+2 i x y\right)+b(x+i y) \\\\ & =a\left(x^2-y^2\right)+b x+2 a i x y+b i y \end{array}

Re(az2+bz)=ba(x2y2)+bx=ax2y2+bax=1.........(i)\begin{array}{ll}\operatorname{Re}\left(a z^2+b z\right)=b \\\\ \Rightarrow a\left(x^2-y^2\right)+b x=a \\\\ \Rightarrow x^2-y^2+\dfrac{b}{a} x=1 .........(i)\end{array}  and bz2+az=b(x2y2+2ixy)+a(x+iy)=b(x2y2)+ax+2bixy+aiyRe(bz2+az)=bb(x2y2)+ax=bx2y2+abx=1..........(ii)\begin{aligned} & \text{ and } b z^2+a z \\\\ & =b\left(x^2-y^2+2 i x y\right)+a(x+i y) \\\\ & =b\left(x^2-y^2\right)+a x+2 b i x y+a i y \\\\ & \operatorname{Re}\left(b z^2+a z\right)=b \\\\ & \Rightarrow b\left(x^2-y^2\right)+a x=b \\\\ & \Rightarrow x^2-y^2+\dfrac{a}{b} x=1 ..........(ii)\end{aligned} On subtracting Equation (ii) from Equation (i), we get

baxabx=0(baab)x=0x=0 or baab=0b2a2=0a=±ba=b( since ab)\begin{aligned} & \frac{b}{a} x-\frac{a}{b} x=0 \\\\ & \Rightarrow \left(\frac{b}{a}-\frac{a}{b}\right) x=0 \\\\ & \Rightarrow x=0 \text{ or } \frac{b}{a}-\frac{a}{b}=0 \\\\ & \Rightarrow b^2-a^2=0 \\\\ & \Rightarrow a= \pm b \\\\ & \Rightarrow a=-b(\text{ since } a \neq b) \end{aligned}

From (i), when x=0x=0, then

When, a=ba=-b, then x2y2x=1x^2-y^2-x=1 has infinitely many solutions.

Q100
If zz is a complex number such that z1|z| \leqslant 1, then the minimum value of z+12(3+4i)\left|z+\dfrac{1}{2}(3+4 i)\right| is :
A 2
B 52\dfrac{5}{2}
C 32\dfrac{3}{2}
D 3
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

To find the minimum value of z+12(3+4i)\left|z+\dfrac{1}{2}(3+4i)\right|, where zz is a complex number with z1|z| \leqslant 1, we can think of this geometrically as the distance from any point inside or on the boundary of the unit circle in the complex plane to the fixed point 12(3+4i)\dfrac{1}{2}(3+4i).

To make this more clear, first write the expression as follows:

z+12(3+4i)=z+32+42i=z+1.5+2i\left|z+\frac{1}{2}(3+4i)\right| = \left|z+\frac{3}{2}+\frac{4}{2}i\right| = \left|z+1.5+2i\right|

This means we are looking for the distance between any point on the complex plane represented by zz (where zz has a magnitude of up to 1) and the point 1.5+2i1.5+2i.

The triangle inequality gives us the following relationship for any two complex numbers z1z_1 and z2z_2:

z1+z2z1z2\left|z_1 + z_2\right| \geqslant \left| \left|z_1\right| - \left|z_2\right| \right|

Applying this to our specific case (z1=zz_1 = z and z2=1.52iz_2 = -1.5 - 2i):

z+1.5+2iz1.52i\left|z + 1.5 + 2i\right| \geqslant \left| \left|z\right| - \left|-1.5 - 2i\right| \right|

Since zz is within the unit circle, z1|z| \leqslant 1 and 1.52i=1.52+22=2.25+4=6.25=2.5|-1.5 - 2i| = \sqrt{1.5^2 + 2^2} = \sqrt{2.25 + 4} = \sqrt{6.25} = 2.5.

So now we have:

z+1.5+2i12.5\left|z + 1.5 + 2i\right| \geqslant \left| 1 - 2.5 \right|

Which simplifies to:

z+1.5+2i1.5\left|z + 1.5 + 2i\right| \geqslant 1.5

Therefore, the minimum value of z+12(3+4i)\left|z+\dfrac{1}{2}(3+4i)\right| given that z1|z| \leqslant 1 is 32\dfrac{3}{2}.

So the correct answer is: Option C: 32\dfrac{3}{2}
