b)2
c)3
d)−3
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Geetika Shah answered
(-i)(3i) +2(-i) =-3(i^2)-2i =-3(-1)-2i =3-2i since i=√-1 =3+(-2)i comparing with a+bi,we get b=(-2)

since 
Z1 + Z2 & Z1Z2 are the real numbers 

therefore

Z1 = conjugate of Z2 

 Z2 = conjugate of Z1

so  

option D is correct

 Find the reciprocal (or multiplicative inverse) of -2 + 5i 
  • a)
  • b)
  • c)
  • d)
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Gaurav Kumar answered
-2 + 5i
multiplicative inverse of -2 + 5i is
1/(-2+5i)
= 1/(-2+5i) * ((-2-5i)/(-2-5i))
= -2-5i/(-2)^2 -(5i)^2
= -2-5i/4-(-25)
= -2-5i/4+25
= -2-5i/29
= -2/29 -5i/29

Express the following in standard form : 
  • a)
    3+3i
  • b)
    2 + 2i
  • c)
    1 + 2i
  • d)
    0 + 2i
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Gaurav Kumar answered
(8 - 4i) - (-2 - 3i) + (-10 + 3i)
=> 8 - 4i + 2 + 3i-10 + 3i
=> 8 + 2 - 10 -  4i + 3i + 3i  =>0 + 2i

  • a)
  • b)
  • c)
  • d)
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Riya Banerjee answered
(x+iy)(x−iy) = (a+ib)(a−ib)/(c+id)(c−id) 
⇒x2−iy2 = √[(a2−i2b2)/(c2−i2d2)]
⇒x2+y2 = √[(a2+b2)/(c2+d2)]  [1i2 = -1]
(x2+y2)2 = (a2+b2)/(c2+d2)

Find the real numbers x and y such that : (x + iy)(3 + 2i) = 1 + i
  • a)
  • b)
  • c)
  • d)
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Suresh Iyer answered
(x + iy)(3 + 2i) = (1 + i)
x + iy = (1 + i)/(3 + 2i)
x + iy = [(1 + i) * (3 - 2i)] / [(3 + 2i)*(3 - 2i)]
x + iy = (3 + 3i - 2i + 2) / [(3)2 + (2)2]
x + iy = (5 + i)/[ 9 + 4]
= (5 + i) / 13
=> 13x + 13iy = 5+i
13x = 5         13y = 1
x = 5/13         y = 1/13

Find the real numbers x and y such that :
a)
b)
c)
d)
Correct answer is option 'c'. Can you explain this answer?

Hansa Sharma answered
(x + iy) (3 + 2i)
= 3x + 2xi + 3iy + 3i*y = 1+i
= 3x-2y + i(2x+3y) = 1+i
= 3x-2y-1 = 0 ; 2x + 3y -1 = 0  
on equating real and imaginary parts on both sides
on solving two equations
x= 5/13 ; y = 1/13  

If one of the root of a quadratic equation with rational coefficients is rational, then other root must be
  • a)
    Imaginary
  • b)
    Irrational
  • c)
    Rational
  • d)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Raghav Bansal answered
Also, αβ = r/p, which is also rational. α + β = (a+√b) + (a-√b) = 2a, a rational number and, αβ = (a+√b)(a-√b) = a² - b, a rational number. So, the other root of a quadratic equation having the one root as (a+√b) is (a-√b), where a and b are rational numbers.

Express the following in standard form: i^20 + (1-2i)^3
a)-10 + 2i
b)-10 + 4i
c)-10 + i
d)-1 + 2i
Correct answer is 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Lavanya Menon answered
Given, i20 + (1 - 2i)3
We knoe that i = √-1
i2 = -1
Now put the values in given equation
= i20 + (1 - 2i)3
= ( i2)10 + { 1 - 8i3 - 6i + 12i}
= 1 +1 - 8i3 - 6i + 12i2
=1 +1 - 8i2.i1 - 6i + 12i2
=1 + 1 + 8i - 6i -12
=  -10 + 2i

    3 + 4i
  • c)
    -3 + 4i/5
  • d)
    -3 + 4i
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Hansa Sharma answered
Complete answers is in 3 steps:
1. Conjugate = 3+4i
2. Modulus = √3^2 + 4^2 =5
3. Multiplicative inverse = conjugate/square of modulus = 3+4i/5^2 = 3+4i/25

 so the least integral value of n is
  • a)
    3
  • b)
    -3
  • c)
    -4
  • d)
    4
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Lavanya Menon answered
{(1 + i)/(1 - i)}n = 1
multiply (1 + i) numerator as well as denominator .
{(1 + i)(1 + i)/(1 - i)(1 + i)}n = 1
{(1 + i)²/(1² - (i)²)}n = 1
{(1 + i² +2i)/2 }n = 1
{(2i)/2}n = 1
{i}n = 1
we know, i4n = 1 where , n is an integer.
so, n = 4n where n is an integers
e.g n = 4 { because least positive integer 1 }
hence, n = 4

Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Geetika Shah answered
Let √(5 – 12i) = x + iy
Squaring both sides, we get
5 – 12i = x2 + 2ixy +(iy)2 = x2 – y2 + 2xyi.
Comparing real and imaginary parts , we get
5 = x2 – y2 ———– (1) and xy = – 6 ———— (2)
Squaring (1), we get
25 = (x2 – y2)2 = (x2 + y2)2 – 4x2y2
⇒ 25 = (x2 + y2)2 – 4(– 6)2
⇒ (x2 + y2)2 = 169
⇒ x2 + y2 = 13 ———- (3)
Adding (1) and (3) we get
2x2 = 18
⇒ x = ± 3.
Subtracting (1) from (3) we get
2y2 = 8
⇒ y = ± 2.
Hence, square root of √(5 – 12i) is (3 – 2i)
Similarly, √(5 + 12i) is (3 + 2i)
√(5 + 12i) + √(5 – 12i)
⇒ (3 + 2i) + (3 - 2i)
⇒ 6

Hansa Sharma answered
(a + ib)1/2 = (x + iy)
Squaring both sides,
a + ib = (x + iy)2
a + ib = x2 - y2 + 2ixy
Equating real and imaginary 
a = x2 - y2    b = 2xy............(1)
Using (x2 + y2)2 = (x2 - y2)2 + 4xy 
(x2 + y2)2 = a2 + b2
(x2 + y2) = (a2 + b2)1/2.......(2)
Adding (1) and (2)
2x2 = (a2 + b2)1/2 + a
x = +-{1/2(a2 + b2)1/2 + a}1/2
Subtract (2) from (1)
2y2 = (a2 + b2)1/2 - a
y = x = +-{1/2(a2 + b2)1/2 - a}1/2
Therefore, (a+ib)1/2 = x+iy
=> +-{1/2(a2 + b2)1/2 + a}1/2 + i+-{1/2(a2 + b2)1/2 - a}1/2

Hansa Sharma answered
Let u be multiplicative inverse
zu = 1
u = 1/z
u = 1/(x+iy)
Rationalise it 
[1/(x+iy)]*[(x-iy)/(x-iy)]
= (x-iy)/(x2+y2)
u = x/(x2+y2) +i(-y)/(x2+y2)

Nandini Iyer answered
x2 - ix + 6 = 0
x2 - 3ix + 2ix - 6i2 = 0    { i2 = -1}
x(x-3i) + 2i(x-3i) = 0
(x+2i) (x-3i) = 0
x = -2i, 3i

Riya Banerjee answered
AC = z3 = z1 eiπ
= z1 (cosπ + i sinπ)
= z3 = z1(-1 + i(0))
= z3 = -z1
AC = z1 - z3
BC = z2 - z4
(z1 - z3)/(z2 - z4) = k
(z1 - z3) = eiπ/2(z2 - z4)
(z1 - z3) k(cosπ/2 + sinπ/2) (z2 - z4)
z1 - z3 = ki(z2 - z4)
z1 - z3 = ik(z2 - z4)

Neha Joshi answered
sin(6π/5) + i(1+cos(6π/5))  or −sin(π/5) + i(1−cos(π/5)) lies in the second quadrant of complex plane hence its argument is given as
arg(x+iy) = π − tan-1 |y/x| (∀ x<0,y≥0)
= π−tan-1 |1−cos(π/5)/sin(π/5)|
= π−tan-1  |2sin2(π/10)/2sin(π/10)cos(π/10)|
= π−tan-1 |sin(π/10)/cos(π/10)|
= π − tan-1 |tan(π/10)|
= π−tan-1 (tan(π/10))  (∵ tan(π/10)>0)
= π−π/10(∵−π/2≤tan−1(x)≤π/2)

Om Desai answered
(√3 + i)10 = a + ib
Z = √3 + i = rcosθ + i rsinθ
⇒ √3 = rcosθ   i = rsinθ
⇒ (√3)2 + (1)2 = r2cos2θ + r2sin2θ
⇒ 4 = r2
⇒ r = 2
tan = 1/√3    
⇒ tan π/6
Therefore, Z = √3 + i = 2(cos π/6 + i sin π/6)
(Z)10 = √3 + i = (2cos π/6 + 2i sin π/6)10
= 210 (cos π/6 + i sin π/6)10
210 (cos 10π/6 + i sin 10π/6)
= 210 (cos(2π - π/3) + i sin(2π - π/3))
= 210 (cos π/3 - i sin π/3)
= 210 (1/2 - i√3/2)
29(1 - i√3)
a = 29 = 512
b = - 29(√3) = -512√3

If z1 = 2 + i, z2 = 1 + 3i, then Re ( z1 - z2) =

    ι
  • b)
    1
  • c)
    2 ι
  • d)
    2
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Aditi Basu answered

To find Re(z1 - z2), we first need to subtract z2 from z1:

z1 - z2 = (2i) - (1 + 3i) = 1 - i

Now, to find the real part of this complex number, we simply take the real component, which is 1. Therefore, Re(z1 - z2) = 1.

Amp. (z−2−3i) = π/4 then locus of z is
  • a)
    x + y = 0
  • b)
    x – y + 1 = 0
  • c)
    x – y = 2
  • d)
    none of these
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Anirban Sharma answered
The term "Amp.(z)" is not clear and could have multiple interpretations. It could refer to an abbreviation for "Amplifier" or "Amplitude," but without further context, it is difficult to determine the exact meaning.

If z = x + yi ; x ,y ∈ R, then locus of the equation , where c ∈ R and b ∈ C, b ≠ 0 are fixed, is
  • a)
    a parabola
  • b)
    a straight line
  • c)
    a circle
  • d)
    none of these
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Vivek answered
As b and c are linear constants ,independent of x and y, then by substituting them in the equation given, we get an equation linear in x and y. Thus, the given equation represents a straight line.

Find the roots of the quadratic equation: x2 + 2x - 15 = 0?
  • a)
    -5, 3
  • b)
    3, 5
  • c)
    -3, 5
  • d)
    -3, -5
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Vaishnavi Iyer answered
Solution:
The given quadratic equation is x^2 + 2x - 15 = 0.

To find the roots of the quadratic equation, we can use the quadratic formula which is given as:

x = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a

where a, b, and c are the coefficients of the quadratic equation.

By comparing the given quadratic equation with ax^2 + bx + c = 0, we can see that a = 1, b = 2, and c = -15.

Substituting these values in the quadratic formula, we get:

x = (-2 ± √(2^2 - 4(1)(-15))) / 2(1)

x = (-2 ± √(64)) / 2

x = (-2 ± 8) / 2

Therefore, the roots of the quadratic equation are:

x = (-2 + 8) / 2 = 3

x = (-2 - 8) / 2 = -5

Hence, the correct answer is option A, which is -5 and 3.

Let x,y ∈ R, hen x + iy is a non real complex number if

  • d)
    y ≠ 0
