Q 1 :

Let α and β be the sum and the product of all the non-zero solutions of the equation (z¯)2+|z|=0, z∈C. Then 4(α2+β2) is equal to              [2024]

  • 2

     

  • 6

     

  • 4

     

  • 8

     

(3)

   We have, (z¯)2+|z|=0                       ...(i)

   Let z=x+iy⇒z¯=x-iy

   From (i), (x-iy)2+|x+iy|=0

  ⇒x2-y2-2ixy+x2+y2=0

  ⇒(x2-y2+x2+y2)-i(2xy)=0

  ⇒x2-y2+x2+y2=0 and 2xy=0

  Case I: x=0 and y≠0

  ⇒-y2+|y|=0⇒|y|=y2⇒y=±1

  Case II: x≠0 and y=0

  ⇒x2+|x|=0

  ⇒x=0 only                                                            (∵x∈R)

  ⇒x=0,y=0   (Rejected) ⇒z=i,-i are solutions.

   Hence, α=i+(-i)=0 and β=i(-i)=-i2=1

   Hence, 4(α2+β2)=4(0+1)=4       



Q 2 :

Consider the following two statements

Statement I : For any two non-zero complex numbers z1,z2, (|z1|+|z2|) |z1|z1|+z2|z2|| ≤2(|z1|+|z2|), and 

Statement II : If x,y,z are three distinct complex numbers and a, b, c are three positive real numbers such that a|y-z|=b|z-x|=c|x-y|, then a2y-z+b2z-x+c2x-y=1.

Between the above two statements,                                [2024]

  • Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.

     

  • Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.

     

  • Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.

     

  • Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.

     

(1)

   We have, (|z1|+|z2|) |z1|z1|+z2|z2||≤(|z1|+|z2|)(|z1||z1|+|z2||z2|)

   ⇒(|z1|+|z2|)|z1|z1|+z2|z2||≤2(|z1|+|z2|)

   Hence, statement-I is correct.

   Now, let a|y-z|=b|z-x|=c|x-y|=λ

   ⇒a=λ|y-z|,  b=λ|z-x|,  c=λ|x-y|

   ⇒a2=λ2(y-z)(y¯-z¯)                     [∵ |x-y|2=(x-y)(x-y¯) for any complex number x and y]

          b2=λ2(z-x)(z¯-x¯)

   and c2=λ2(x-y)(x¯-y¯)

   Now, a2y-z+b2z-x+c2x-y=λ2(y¯-z¯+z¯-x¯+x¯-y¯)=0

   Hence, statement-II is incorrect.

 



Q 3 :

Let z be a complex number such that |z+2|=1 and Im(z+1z+2)=15. Then the value of |Re(z+2¯)| is                  [2024]

  • 265

     

  • 65  

     

  • 1+65  

     

  • 245

     

(1)

     Let z=x+iy

   ⇒|x+iy+2|=1⇒(x+2)2+y2=1                     ...(i)

    Also, Im((x+1)+iy(x+2)+iy)=15

   ⇒Im([(x+1)+iy][(x+2)-iy](x+2)2+y2)=15

   ⇒(x+2)y-(x+1)y(x+2)2+y2=15

   ⇒y1=15                                           [Using (i)]

   ⇒(x+2)2+125=1⇒(x+2)2=1-125

   ⇒(x+2)=±265

   ∴ |Re(z+2¯)|=|Re[(x+2)-iy)]|=|(x+2)|=265.

 



Q 4 :

The sum of all possible values of θ∈[-π,2π], for which 1+icosθ1-2icosθ is purely imaginary, is equal to:                            [2024]

  • 2π

     

  • 4π

     

  • 3π

     

  • 5π

     

(3)

   We have, 1+icosθ1-2icosθ is purely imaginary.

   ∴1+icosθ1-2icosθ+1-icosθ1+2icosθ=0              (∵z+z¯=0)

   ⇒1+icosθ+2icosθ-2cos2θ+1-icosθ-2icosθ-2cos2θ1+4cos2θ=0

   ⇒2-4cos2θ=0  ⇒cos2θ=12

         θ=nπ±π4

   θ can be π4,-π4,3π4,-3π4,5π4,7π4             (∵θ∈[-π,2π])

   ∴ Required=π4-π4+3π4-3π4+5π4+7π4=3π

 

 



Q 5 :

Let S={z∈C:|z-1|=1 and (2-1)(z+z¯)-i(z-z¯)=22}. Let z1,z2∈S be such that |z1|=maxz∈S|z| and |z2|=minz∈S|z|. Then |2z1-z2|2 equals:      [2024]

  • 3

     

  • 2

     

  • 1

     

  • 4

     

(2)

   We have, S={z∈C:|z-1|=1 and (2-1)(z+z¯)-i(z-z¯)=22}

   Let z=x+iy and z¯=x-iy

   (x-1)2+y2=1                                   ...(i)

   (2-1)x+y=2                           ...(ii)

    Equation (i) and (ii) intersect at (1, 1) and (1+12,12)

    ∴     S={(1,1),(1+12,12)}

    |z1|=maxz∈S|z| at (1+12,12)

    ∴    z1=1+12+i2

    z2=1+i

   ∴    2z+1+i-1-i=2

   ∴    |2z1-z2|2=2

 

 



Q 6 :

If S={z∈C:|z-i|=|z+i|=|z-1|} then n(S) is:              [2024]

  • 1

     

  • 0

     

  • 3

     

  • 2

     

(1)

   Given, |z-i|=|z+i|=|z-1|                         ...(i)

   Putting z=x+iy in (i), we get |x+iy-i|=|x+iy+i|=|x+iy-1|

   Now, |x+i(y-1)|=|x-1+iy|

   ⇒x2+(y-1)2=(x-1)2+y2

   ⇒x2+y2+1-2y=x2+1-2x+y2⇒2x-2y=0

   ⇒x-y=0                                                             ...(ii)

   Again, |x+i(y+1)|=|x-1+iy|

  ⇒x2+(y+1)2=(x-1)2+y2

  ⇒x2+y2+1+2y=x2+1-2x+y2⇒2x+2y=0

  ⇒x+y=0                                                              ...(iii)

   From (ii) and (iii), we get x=0 and y=0

   Thus, z=0+i0  ∴n(S)=1

 



Q 7 :

If z=12-2i is such that |z+1|=αz+β(1+i),i=-1 and α,β∈R, then α+β is equal to                    [2024]

  • - 1

     

  • - 4 

     

  • 3

     

  • 2

     

(3)

   Given, z=12-2i                                  ...(i)

   and |z+1|=αz+β(1+i)                ...(ii)

   From (i) and (ii), we get:

   |12-2i+1|=α(12-2i)+β(1+i)

   ⇒|32-2i|=α(12-2i)+β(1+i)

   ⇒94+4=α2-2αi+β+βi                     [∵|z|=x2+y2]

   ⇒254=α2+β+i(-2α+β)⇒52=α2+β+i(-2α+β)

   ⇒52=α2+β    ...(iii) and -2α+β=0⇒β=2α       ...(iv)

   Solving (iii) and (iv), we get α=1 and β=2

   ∴     α+β=1+2=3

 



Q 8 :

If z=x+iy,xy≠0, satisfies the equation z2+iz¯=0, then |z2| is equal to                             [2024]

  • 9

     

  • 14

     

  • 1

     

  • 4

     

(3)

   We have, z2+iz¯=0

  ⇒z2=-iz¯⇒|z2|=|-iz¯|

    ⇒|z2|=|-i||z¯|⇒|z2|=1|z|

   ⇒|z|2-|z|=0                            [∴|z¯|=|z|]

   ⇒|z|(|z|-1)=0

   ⇒|z|=0 (not acceptable) or |z|=1⇒|z|2=1

 



Q 9 :

Let z1 and z2 be two complex numbers such that z1+z2=5 and z13+z23=20+15i. Then |z14+z24| equals                      [2024]

  • 303

     

  • 1515  

     

  • 75

     

  • 253

     

(3)

   Given, z1+z2=5⇒(z1+z2)3=53

   ⇒20+15i+3z1z2(5)=125

   ⇒z1z2=7-i

   Now z14+z24=[(z1+z2)2-2z1z2]2-2z12z22

   =[25-2(7-i)]2-2(7-i)2

   =625+4(7-i)2-100(7-i)-2(7-i)2

   =625+(7-i)[2(7-i)-100]

   =625+(7-i)[14-2i-100]

   =625+(7-i)[-86-2i]

   =625-602-14i+86i-2=21+72i

   ∴  |z14+z24|=441+5184=5625=75

 



Q 10 :

Let P={z∈C:|z+2-3i|≤1} and

      Q={z∈C:z(1+i)+z¯(1-i)≤-8}.

Let in P∩Q,|z-3+2i| be maximum and minimum at z1 and z2 respectively. If |z1|2+2|z2|2=α+β2, where α,β are integers, then α+β equals________ .                [2024]



(36)

 



Q 11 :

Let A={z∈C:|z–2–i|=3}, B={z∈C:Re(z–iz)=2} and S=A∩B. Then ∑z∈S|z|2 is equal to __________.          [2025]



(22)

Let z = x + iy.

We have, A : |z – 2 – i| = 3

⇒ |(x–2)+i(y–1)|=3 ⇒ (x–2)2+(y–1)2=9          ... (i)

Also, B : Re(z – iz) = 2

Re((x+y)+i(y–x))=2 ⇒ x+y=2          ... (ii)

From (i) and (ii), we get x=3±172, y=1∓172

∴  ∑z∈S|z|2=14[2×26+2×18]=22.



Q 12 :

If for z=α+iβ, |z+2|=z+4(1+i), then α+β and αβ are the roots of the equation          [2023]

  • x2+7x+12=0

     

  • x2+x-12=0

     

  • x2+3x-4=0

     

  • x2+2x-3=0

     

(1)

We have, |z+2|=z+4(1+i)

⇒|α+iβ+2|=α+iβ+4+4i

⇒(α+2)2+β2=(α+4)+i(β+4)

Comparing real and imaginary parts, we get

β+4=0⇒β=-4

Also, (α+2)2+42=(α+4)2

⇒α2+4+4α+16=α2+16+8α⇒4α=4⇒α=1

Now, α+β=-3,  αβ=-4

Equation having roots - 3 and - 4 is (x+3)(x+4)=0

i.e. x2+7x+12=0



Q 13 :

Let the complex number z=x+iy be such that 2z-3i2z+i is purely imaginary. If x+y2=0, then y4+y2-y is equal to           [2023]

  • 32

     

  • 23

     

  • 34

     

  • 43

     

(3)

Given, 2z-3i2z+i is purely imaginary.

∴   2z-3i2z+i+2z¯+3i2z¯-i=0

⇒(2z-3i)(2z¯-i)+(2z¯+3i)(2z+i)=0

⇒4zz¯-2iz-6iz¯-3+4zz¯+2iz¯+6iz-3=0

⇒8zz¯+4iz-4iz¯-6=0                [∵z=x+iy]

⇒4(x2+y2)+2i(x+iy)-2i(x-iy)-3=0

⇒4x2+4y2-4y-3=0

⇒4y4+4y2-4y-3=0       [∵x+y2=0 (Given)]

⇒y4+y2-y=34



Q 14 :

Let S={z=x+iy:2z-3i4z+2i is a real number}. Then which of the following is NOT correct?          [2023]
 

  • (x,y)=(0,-12)

     

  • y+x2+y2≠-14

     

  • y∈(-∞,-12)∪(-12,∞)

     

  • x=0

     

(1)

As, 2z-3i4z+2i is a real number.

∴   2z-3i4z+2i=2z-3i¯4z+2i⇒2z-3i4z+2i=2z¯+3i4z¯-2i

⇒(2z-3i)(4z¯-2i)=(2z¯+3i)(4z+2i)

⇒8zz¯-4iz-12iz¯-6=8zz¯+4iz¯+12iz-6

⇒-4i(z+z¯)-12i(z+z¯)=0

⇒16i(z+z¯)=0⇒z+z¯=0⇒2x=0⇒x=0

As, y can not be -12.

∴ Option (1) is not possible.



Q 15 :

For a∈ℂ, let A={z∈ℂ:Re(a+z¯)>Im(a¯+z)}  and  B={z∈ℂ:Re(a+z¯)<Im(a¯+z)}. Then among the two statements:

(S1) : If Re(a),Im(a)>0, then the set A contains all the real numbers.

(S2) : If Re(a),Im(a)<0, then the set B contains all the real numbers.                 [2023]

  • only (S2) is true

     

  • both are true

     

  • only (S1) is true

     

  • both are false

     

(4)

Let a=x1+iy1 and z=x+iy

Now Re(a+z¯)>Im(a¯+z)

⇒Re(x1+iy1+x-iy)>Im(x1-iy1+x+iy)

⇒Re(x1+x+i(y1-y))>Im(x1+x+i(y-y1))

∴  x1+x>-y1+y

Let x1=2, y1=10, x=-12, y=0

Given inequality is not valid for these values.

S1 is false.

Now Re(a+z¯)<Im(a¯+z)

⇒Re(x1+x+i(y1-y))<Im(x1+x+i(y-y1))

⇒x1+x<-y1+y

Let x1=-2, y1=-10, x=12, y=0

Given inequality is not valid for these values.

S2 is false.



Q 16 :

Let S={z∈ℂ:z¯=i(z2+Re(z¯))}. Then  ∑z∈S|z|2 is equal to              [2023]

 z¯=i(z2+Re(z¯))

x-iy=i(x2-y2+2ixy+x)   ;   x-iy=i(x2-y2+x)-2xy

⇒ x=-2xy  and  y=y2-x2-x

       x=0⇒y=y2⇒y=0 or 1

y=-12⇒-12=14-x2 ⇒x=12 or -32

Possible places of z=0+i0, 0+i,  12-12i, -32-i2

⇒∑|z|2=0+1+(14+14)+(94+14)=1+3=4



Q 17 :

If the set {Re(z-z¯+zz¯2-3z+5z¯) :z∈C,Re(z)=3} is equal to the interval (α,β], then 24 (β-α) is equal to         [2023]

  • 27

     

  • 36

     

  • 42

     

  • 30

     

(4)

Let z1=(z-z¯+zz¯2-3z+5z¯)  

Let z=3+iy                                         [∵Re(z)=3]

⇒z¯=3-iy

z1=2iy+(9+y2)2-3(3+iy)+5(3-iy)

9+y2+i(2y)8-8iy=(9+y2)+i(2y)8(1-iy)×(1+iy)(1+iy)

=9+9iy+y2-2y2+iy3+2iy8(1+y2)

So, Re(z1)=(9+y2)-2y28(1+y2)=9-y28(1+y2)

=18[10-(1+y2)1+y2]=18[101+y2-1]

Thus, 1+y2∈[1,∞)⇒11+y2∈(0,1]

⇒101+y2∈(0,10]⇒101+y2-1∈(-1,9]

∴Re(z1)∈(-18,98];  α=-18,  β=98

∴  24(β-α)=24(98+18)=30



Q 18 :

Let z1=2+3i and z2=3+4i. The set S={Z∈ℂ:|z-z1|2-|z-z2|2=|z1-z2|2} represents a          [2023]

  • hyperbola with eccentricity 2

     

  • hyperbola with the length of the transverse axis 7

     

  • straight line with the sum of its intercepts on the coordinate axes equals 14

Let z=x+iy; z1=2+3i; z2=3+4i

|(x+iy)-(2+3i)|2-|(x+iy)-(3+4i)|2=|(2+3i)-(3+4i)|2

(x-2)2+(y-3)2-(x-3)2-(y-4)2=12+12

Q 21 :

Let α=8-14i, A={z∈ℂ: αz-α¯z¯z2-(z¯)2-112i=1} and B={z∈ℂ:|z+3i|=4}. Then ∑z∈A∩B(Rez-Imz) is equal to ________.          [2023]



(14)

Given, α=8-14i

Let z=x+iy

αz=(8-14i)(x+iy)=(8x+14y)+i(-14x+8y)

Now, z+z¯=2x and z-z¯=2iy

For A,    2i(-14x+8y)i(4xy-112)=1

⇒(x-4)(y+7)=0⇒x=4 or y=-7

For B,     x2+(y+3)2=16

When x=4, then y=-3; when y=-7, then x=0

∴A∩B={4-3i, 0-7i}

So, ∑z∈A∩B(Rez-Imz)=4-(-3)+(0-(-7))=7+7=14

Q 23 :

Let S={z∈C:z2+4z+16=0}. Then ∑z∈S|z+3i|2 is equal to:          [2026]

  • 42

     

  • 23

     

  • 27

     

  • 38

     

(4)

z2+4z+16=0

⇒ (x+iy2)+4(x+iy)+16=0

⇒ (x2–y2+4x+16)+2ixy+4iy=0+i0

Comparing real and imaginary parts, we get

2y(x+2)=0 & x2–y2+4x+16=0

⇒ y=0 or x=–2

If y=0, x2+4x+16=0, D=16–4×16=–48<0

So, no real solution for x exists.

Now, if x = –2

4–y2–8+16=0 ⇒ y2=12

⇒ y=±23

So, z=–2+23i and z=–2–23i

∑z∈S|z+3i|2=|–2+23i+3i|2+|–2–23i+3i|2

=|–2+33i|2+|–2–3i|2

=4+27+4+3=38



Q 24 :

Let z1,z2∈C be the distinct solutions of the equation z2+4z–(1+12i)=0. The |z1|2+|z2|2 is equal to :          [2026]

  • 18

     

  • 22

     

  • 29

     

  • 34

     

(4)

Given, z2+4z–(1+12i)=0

⇒ z=–4±16+4(1+12i)2

⇒ z=–4±20+48i2

⇒ z=–2±5+12i

∴ z1=–2+5+12i and z2=–5+12i

But 5+12i=±(3+2i)

∴ z1=–2+(3+2i) and z2=–2–(3+2i)

⇒ z1=1+2i and z2=–5–2i

Now, |z1|=1+4=5 and |z2|=25+4=29

∴ |z1|2+|z2|2=(5)+(29)=34



Q 25 :

Let the set of all values of k∈R such that the equation z(z¯+2+i)+k(2+3i)=0, z∈C, has at least one solution, be the interval [α,β]. Then 9(α+β) is equal to :          [2026]

  • –10

     

  • –8

     

  • 1013

     

  • 813

     

(1)

We have, z(z¯+2+i)+k(2+3i)=0

Let z = x + iy

Then, (x + iy)(x – iy + 2 + i) + k(2 + 3i) = 0

⇒ (x2+y2+2x–y+2k)+i(x+2y+3k)=0

On comparing real and imaginary parts, we get

x2+y2+2x–y+2k=0          ... (i)

and  x + 2y + 3k = 0          ... (ii)

⇒ x=–(2y+3k)

Put in (i), we get

[–(2y+3k)]2+y2+[–2(2y+3k)]–y+2k=0

⇒ 5y2+(12k–5)y+(9k2–4k)=0

∵  y is real

∴ D≥0

    (12k–5)2–4×5(9k2–4k)≥0

⇒ 36k2+40k–25≤0

⇒ –40–201372≤k≤–40+201372

∴ α=–40–201372 and β=–40+201372

So, 9(α+β)=9(–4072×2)=–10



Q 26 :

Let a complex number z, |z|≠1, satisfy log2(|z|+11(|z|-1)2)≥0. Then, the largest value of |z| is equal to

  • 5

     

  • 2

     

  • 0

     

  • 1

     

(1)

log2(|z|+11|z|2-2|z|+1)≥0⇒|z|+11|z|2-2|z|+1≥1

⇒|z|2-2|z|+1≤|z|+11

⇒(|z|-5)(|z|+2)≤0⇒|z|≤5           [∵|z|+2>0]
