Q61
Let n denote the number of solutions of the equation z2 + 3z\overline z = 0, where z is a complex number. Then the value of k=01nk\sum\limits_{k = 0}^\infty {{1 \over {{n^k}}}} is equal to :
A 1
B 43{4 \over 3}
C 32{3 \over 2}
D 2
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

z2 + 3

z\overline z

= 0 Put z = x + iy \Rightarrow x2 - y2 + 2ixy + 3(x - iy) = 0 \Rightarrow (x2 - y2 + 3x) + i(2xy - 3y) = 0 + i0 \therefore x2 - y2 + 3x = 0 ..... (1) 2xy - 3y = 0 ..... (2) x =

32{3 \over 2}

, y = 0 Put x =

32{3 \over 2}

in equation (1)

94y2+92=0{9 \over 4} - {y^2} + {9 \over 2} = 0
y2=274y=±332{y^2} = {{27} \over 4} \Rightarrow y = \pm {{3\sqrt 3 } \over 2}

\therefore

(x,y)=(32,332),(32,332)(x,y) = \left( {{3 \over 2},{{3\sqrt 3 } \over 2}} \right),\left( {{3 \over 2},{{ - 3\sqrt 3 } \over 2}} \right)

Put y = 0 \Rightarrow x2 - 0 + 3x = 0 x = 0, -3 \therefore (x, y) = (0, 0), (-3, 0) \therefore No of solutions = n = 4

K=0(1nk)=K=0(14nk)\sum\limits_{K = 0}^\infty {\left( {{1 \over {{n^k}}}} \right)} = \sum\limits_{K = 0}^\infty {\left( {{1 \over {4{n^k}}}} \right)}
=11+14+116+164+......= {1 \over 1} + {1 \over 4} + {1 \over {16}} + {1 \over {64}} + ......
=1114=43= {1 \over {1 - {1 \over 4}}} = {4 \over 3}
Q62
Let C be the set of all complex numbers. Let S1 = {z\inC : |z - 2| \le 1} and S2 = {z\inC : z(1 + i) + z\overline z (1 - i) \ge 4}. Then, the maximum value of z522{\left| {z - {5 \over 2}} \right|^2} for z\inS1 \cap S2 is equal to :
A 3+224{{3 + 2\sqrt 2 } \over 4}
B 5+222{{5 + 2\sqrt 2 } \over 2}
C 3+222{{3 + 2\sqrt 2 } \over 2}
D 5+224{{5 + 2\sqrt 2 } \over 4}
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

|t - 2| \le 1 Put t = x + iy (x - 2)2 + y2 \le 1 Also, t(1 + i) +

t\overline t

(1 - i) \ge 4 x - y \ge 2 Let point on circle be A(2 + cosθ\theta, sinθ\theta)

θ[3π4,π4]\theta \in \left[ { - {{3\pi } \over 4},{\pi \over 4}} \right]
(AP)2=(2+cosθ52)2+sinθ{(AP)^2} = {\left( {2 + \cos \theta - {5 \over 2}} \right)^2} + \sin \theta
=cos2θcosθ+14+sin2θ= {\cos ^2}\theta - \cos \theta + {1 \over 4} + {\sin ^2}\theta
=54cosθ= {5 \over 4} - \cos \theta

For (AP)2 maximum

θ=3π4\theta = - {{3\pi } \over 4}
(AP)2=54+12=52+442{(AP)^2} = {5 \over 4} + {1 \over {\sqrt 2 }} = {{5\sqrt 2 + 4} \over {4\sqrt 2 }}
Q63
If S={zC:ziz+2iR}S = \left\{ {z \in C:{{z - i} \over {z + 2i}} \in R} \right\}, then :
A S contains exactly two elements
B S contains only one element
C S is a circle in the complex plane
D S is a straight line in the complex plane
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

Given

ziz+2iR{{z - i} \over {z + 2i}} \in R

Then

arg(ziz+2i)\arg \left( {{{z - i} \over {z + 2i}}} \right)

is 0 or π\pi \Rightarrow S is straight line in complex

Q64
If z is a complex number such that ziz1{{z - i} \over {z - 1}} is purely imaginary, then the minimum value of | z - (3 + 3i) | is :
A 2212\sqrt 2 - 1
B 323\sqrt 2
C 626\sqrt 2
D 222\sqrt 2
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution
ziz1{{z - i} \over {z - 1}}

is purely imaginary number Let

z=x+iyz = x + iy

\therefore

x+i(y1)(x1)+i(y)×(x1)iy(x1)iy{{x + i(y - 1)} \over {(x - 1) + i(y)}} \times {{(x - 1) - iy} \over {(x - 1) - iy}}
x(x1)+y(y1)+i(yx+1)(x1)2+y2\Rightarrow {{x(x - 1) + y(y - 1) + i( - y - x + 1)} \over {{{(x - 1)}^2} + {y^2}}}

is purely imaginary number

x(x1)+y(y1)=0\Rightarrow x(x - 1) + y(y - 1) = 0
(x12)2+(y12)2=12\Rightarrow {\left( {x - {1 \over 2}} \right)^2} + {\left( {y - {1 \over 2}} \right)^2} = {1 \over 2}

\therefore

z(3+3i)min=PC12{\left| {z - (3 + 3i)} \right|_{\min }} = \left| {PC} \right| - {1 \over {\sqrt 2 }}
=5212=22= {5 \over {\sqrt 2 }} - {1 \over {\sqrt 2 }} = 2\sqrt 2
Q65
Let α\alpha and β\beta be the roots of the equation x2 + (2i - 1) = 0. Then, the value of |α\alpha8 + β\beta8| is equal to :
A 50
B 250
C 1250
D 1500
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

Given equation,

x2+(2i1)=0{x^2} + (2i - 1) = 0
x2=12i\Rightarrow {x^2} = 1 - 2i

Let α\alpha and β\beta are the two roots of the equation. As, we know roots of a equation satisfy the equation so

α2=12i{\alpha ^2} = 1 - 2i

and

β2=12i{\beta ^2} = 1 - 2i

\therefore

α2=β2=12i{\alpha ^2} = {\beta ^2} = 1 - 2i

\therefore

α2=12+(2)2=15|{\alpha ^2}| = \sqrt {{1^2} + {{( - 2)}^2}} = \sqrt {15}

Now,

α8+β8|{\alpha ^8} + {\beta ^8}|
α8+α8|{\alpha ^8} + {\alpha ^8}|
=2α8= 2|{\alpha ^8}|
=2α24= 2|{\alpha ^2}{|^4}
=2(5)4= 2{\left( {\sqrt 5 } \right)^4}
=2×25= 2 \times 25
=50= 50
Q66
Let zz be a complex number such that z2iz+i=2,zi\left| {{{z - 2i} \over {z + i}}} \right| = 2,z \ne - i. Then zz lies on the circle of radius 2 and centre :
A (0, -2)
B (0, 0)
C (0, 2)
D (2, 0)
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

z2iz+i=2\left|\dfrac{z-2 i}{z+i}\right|=2 (z2i)(zˉ+2i)=4(z+i)(zˉi)\Rightarrow (z-2 i)(\bar{z}+2 i)=4(z+i)(\bar{z}-i) zzˉ+2iz2izˉ+4=4(zzˉzi+zi+1)\Rightarrow z \bar{z}+2 i z-2 i \bar{z}+4=4(z \bar{z}-z i+\overline{z i}+1) 3zzˉ6iz+6izˉ=0\Rightarrow 3 z \bar{z}-6 i z+6 i \bar{z}=0 zzˉ2iz+2izˉ=0\Rightarrow z \bar{z}-2 i z+2 i \bar{z}=0 \therefore Centre (2i)(-2 i) or (0,2)(0,-2) Other Method : z2iz+i=2,zi\left|\dfrac{z-2 i}{z+i}\right|=2, z \neq-i Put z=x+iyz=x+i y

x+iy2ix+iy+i=2x+i(y2)x+i(y+1)2=4x2+(y2)2=4[x2+(y+1)2]x2+y2+44y=4[x2+y2+1+2y]\begin{aligned} & \left|\frac{x+i y-2 i}{x+i y+i}\right|=2 \\\\ & \Rightarrow \left|\frac{x+i(y-2)}{x+i(y+1)}\right|^2=4 \\\\ & \Rightarrow x^2+(y-2)^2=4\left[x^2+(y+1)^2\right] \\\\ & \Rightarrow x^2+y^2+4-4 y=4\left[x^2+y^2+1+2 y\right] \end{aligned}

\Rightarrow x2+y2+4y=0x^2+y^2+4 y=0 or x2+(y+2)2=22x^2+(y+2)^2=2^2 \therefore Centre is (0,2)(0,-2).

Q67
Let arg(z) represent the principal argument of the complex number z. Then, |z| = 3 and arg(z - 1) - arg(z + 1) = π4{\pi \over 4} intersect :
A exactly at one point.
B exactly at two points.
C nowhere.
D at infinitely many points.
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

Let

z=x+iyz = x + iy

\therefore

z=x2+y2|z| = \sqrt {{x^2} + {y^2}}

Given,

z=3|z| = 3

\therefore

x2+y2=3\sqrt {{x^2} + {y^2}} = 3
x2+y2=9=32\Rightarrow {x^2} + {y^2} = 9 = {3^2}

This represent a circle with center at (0, 0) and radius = 3 Now, given

arg(z1)arg(z+1)=π4\arg (z - 1) - \arg (z + 1) = {\pi \over 4}
arg(x+iy1)arg(x+iy+1)=π4\Rightarrow \arg (x + iy - 1) - \arg (x + iy + 1) = {\pi \over 4}
arg(x1+iy)arg(x+1+iy)=π4\Rightarrow \arg (x - 1 + iy) - \arg (x + 1 + iy) = {\pi \over 4}
tan1(yx1)tan1(yx+1)=π4\Rightarrow {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {{y \over {x - 1}}} \right) - {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {{y \over {x + 1}}} \right) = {\pi \over 4}
tan1(yx1yx+11+yx1×yx+1)=π4\Rightarrow {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {{{{y \over {x - 1}} - {y \over {x + 1}}} \over {1 + {y \over {x - 1}} \times {y \over {x + 1}}}}} \right) = {\pi \over 4}
tan1(xy+yxy+yx21x21+y2x21)=π4\Rightarrow {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {{{{{xy + y - xy + y} \over {{x^2} - 1}}} \over {{{{x^2} - 1 + {y^2}} \over {{x^2} - 1}}}}} \right) = {\pi \over 4}
tan1(xy+yxy+yx21+y2)=π4\Rightarrow {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {{{xy + y - xy + y} \over {{x^2} - 1 + {y^2}}}} \right) = {\pi \over 4}
2yx21+y2=tan(π4)\Rightarrow {{2y} \over {{x^2} - 1 + {y^2}}} = \tan \left( {{\pi \over 4}} \right)
2y=x2+y21\Rightarrow 2y = {x^2} + {y^2} - 1
x2+y22y1=0\Rightarrow {x^2} + {y^2} - 2y - 1 = 0
x2+(y1)2=(2)2\Rightarrow {x^2} + {(y - 1)^2} = {(\sqrt 2 )^2}

This represent a circle with center at (0, 1) and radius

2\sqrt 2

. From diagram you can see both the circles do not cut anywhere.

Q68
The number of points of intersection of z(4+3i)=2|z - (4 + 3i)| = 2 and z+z4=6|z| + |z - 4| = 6, z \in C, is :
A 0
B 1
C 2
D 3
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution
C1:z(4+3i)=2{C_1}:|z - (4 + 3i)| = 2

and

C2:z+z4=6{C_2}:|z| + |z - 4| = 6

,

zCz \in C

C1 represents a circle with centre (4, 3) and radius 2 and C2 represents a ellipse with focii at (0, 0) and (4, 0) and length of major axis = 6, and length of semi-major axis 2

5\sqrt5

and (4, 2) lies inside the both C1 and C2 and (4, 3) lies outside the C2 \therefore number of intersection points = 2

Q69
The area of the polygon, whose vertices are the non-real roots of the equation z=iz2\overline z = i{z^2} is :
A 334{{3\sqrt 3 } \over 4}
B 332{{3\sqrt 3 } \over 2}
C 32{3 \over 2}
D 34{3 \over 4}
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution
z=iz2\overline z = i{z^2}

Let

z=x+iyz = x + iy
xiy=i(x2y2+2xiy)x - iy = i({x^2} - {y^2} + 2xiy)
xiy=i(x2y2)2xyx - iy = i({x^2} - {y^2}) - 2xy

\therefore

x=2yxx = - 2yx

or

x2y2=y{x^2} - {y^2} = - y
x=0x = 0

or

y=12y = - {1 \over 2}

Case - I

x=0x = 0
y2=y- {y^2} = - y
y=0,1y = 0,\,\,1

Case - II

y=12y = - {1 \over 2}
x214=12x=±32\Rightarrow {x^2} - {1 \over 4} = {1 \over 2} \Rightarrow x = \pm {{\sqrt 3 } \over 2}
x={0,i,32i2,32i2}x = \left\{ {0,i,{{\sqrt 3 } \over 2} - {i \over 2},{{ - \sqrt 3 } \over 2} - {i \over 2}} \right\}

Area of polygon

=120113212132121= {1 \over 2}\left| \begin{array}{lll}0 & 1 & 1 \\ {{{\sqrt 3 } \over 2}} & {{{ - 1} \over 2}} & 1 \\ {{{ - \sqrt 3 } \over 2}} & {{{ - 1} \over 2}} & 1 \end{array} \right|
=12332=334= {1 \over 2}\left| { - \sqrt 3 \,\,\, - {{\sqrt 3 } \over 2}} \right| = {{3\sqrt 3 } \over 4}
Q70
