Q.

If z1,z2 and z3 are complex numbers such that

|z1|=|z2|=|z3|=|1z1+1z2+1z3|=1, then |z1+z2+z3| is                [2000]

1 equal to 1  
2 less than 1  
3 greater than 3  
4 equal to 3  

Ans.

(1)

Given : |z1|=|z2|=|z3|=1

Now, |z1|=1|z1|2=1z1z1¯=1

Similarly z2z2¯=1,  z3z3¯=1

Now, |1z1+1z2+1z3|=1|z1¯+z2¯+z3¯|=1

|z1+z2+z3¯|=1|z1+z2+z3|=1
