Question 1.
iⁿ + iⁿ⁺¹+ iⁿ⁺² + iⁿ⁺³ is:
(a) 0
(b) 1
(c) -1
(d) z
Solution:
(a) 0
Hint:
iⁿ + iⁿ⁺¹+ iⁿ⁺² + iⁿ⁺³
= iⁿ[1 + i + i² + i³]
= iⁿ[1 + i – 1 – i]
iⁿ (0) = 0

Hint:
\(\sum _{ i=1 }^{ 13 }{ ({ i }^{ n }+{ i }^{ n-1 }) } \)= (i¹ + i² + i³ + … + i¹³) + (i⁰ + i¹ + i² + … + i¹²)
= i⁰ + 2(i¹ + i² + i³  + ….. i¹²) + i¹³
= 1 + 2(i – 1 – i + 1 + … + 1) + 1
= 1 + 2(0) + i = 1 + i

Let z = a + ib ⇒point (a, b)
iz = – b + ia ⇒ point (- b, a)
z + iz =(a – b) + i(a + b) point((a – b),(a + b))
Area of the triangle
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) [x₁(y₂ – y₃) + x₂(y₃ – y₁) + x₃(y₁ – y₂)]
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) [a(a – a – b) -b(a + b – b) + (a – b)(b – a)]
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) [-ab – ab + ab – a² – b² + ab]

Question 6.
If z is a non zero complex number, such that 2iz² = \(\bar { z }\) then | z | is:
(a) \(\frac{1}{2}\)
(b) 0
(c) 1
(d) 2
Solution:
z is a non zero complex number
Given 2iz² = \(\bar { z }\)
let z = x + iy
2i(x + iy)² = x – iy
simplifying 2i(x² – y² + 2ixy) = x – iy
-4xy + 2i(x² – y²) = x – iy
Equating real and imaginary parts
-4xy = x, 2(x² – y²) = -y
solving x = \(\frac{√3}{4}\), y =-\(\frac{1}{4}\)
z = \(\frac{√3}{4}\) – \(\frac{i}{4}\)
|z| = \(\sqrt { \frac{3}{16}+\frac{1}{16}}\) = \(\sqrt { \frac{1}{4}}\)
= \(\frac {1}{2}\)

Question 7.
If |z – 2 + i | ≤ 2, then the greatest value of |z| is:
(a) √3 – 2
(b) √3 + 2
(c) √5 – 2
(d) √5 + 2
Solution:
(d) √5 + 2
Hint:
|z – 2 + i | ≤ 2
|z + (-2 + i)| ≤ |z| + |-2 + i|
|z| ± √5
Given |z – 2 + i| ≤ 2
∴ |z| ± √5 ≤ 2
|z| ≤ 2 – √5. |z| ≤ 2 + √5
∴ The greatest value is 2 + √5

Question 8.

(a) 1
(b) 2
(c) 3
(d) 5
Solution:
(a) 1
Hint:

|z|² – 2 |z| + 1 ≤ 3 + 1
(|z| – 1)² ≤ 4
|z| – 1 ≤ ± 2
|z| ≤ 2 + 1 and |z| ≤ – 2 + 1
|z| = -1
But |z| = 1

(b) – \(\frac{3}{2}\) + 2i
(c) 2 – \(\frac{3}{2}\)i
(d) 2 + \(\frac{3}{2}\)i
Solution:
(a) \(\frac{3}{2}\) – 2i
Hint:
|z| – z = 1 + 2i
Let z = x + iy
|z| = x + iy + 1 + 2i
\(\sqrt{x^2+y^2}\) = (x + 1) + i(y + 2)
\(\sqrt{x^2+y^2}\) = x + 1 y + 2 = 0
x² + y² = (x + 1)² y = -2
y² = 2x + 1
2x = 3
x = \(\frac{3}{2}\)
∴z = x + iy = \(\frac{3}{2}\) – 2i

(a) real axis
(b) imaginary axis
(c) ellipse
(d) circle
Solution:
(b) imaginary axis
Hint:
|z + 2| = |z – 2|
Let z = x + iy
|(x + 2) + iy| = |(x – 2) + iy|
(x + 2)² + y² = (x – 2)² + y²
x² + 4x + 4 = x² – 4x + 4
⇒ x = 0

(a) \(\frac{-5π}{6}\)
(b) \(\frac{-2π}{3}\)
(c) \(\frac{-3π}{4}\)
(d) \(\frac{-π}{2}\)
Solution:
(c) \(\frac{-3π}{4}\)
Hint:

Since Real and imaginary parts are negative.
‘θ’ lies in 3rd quadrant.
∴ Principal argument = – \(\frac {3π}{4}\) [∵ \(\frac {π}{4}\) – π]

Question 17.
The principal argument of (sin 40° + i cos 40°)⁵ is:
(a) – 110°
(b) -70°
(c) 70°
(d) 110°
Solution:
(a) – 110°
Hint:
z = (sin 40° + i cos 40°)⁵
= (cos 50° + i sin 50°)⁵
= cos 250° + i sin 250°]
= cos (360° – 110°) + i sin (360° – 110°)
= cos 110° – i sin 110°
= cos (-110°) + i sin (-110°)
∴ Principal argument is – 110°

(d) 1 + n²
Solution:
(c) x² + y²
Hint:
(1 + i) (i + 2i) ….. (1 + ni) = x + iy
Taking of two modulli of each of squaring
2.5.10 … (1 +n²) = x²+ y²

Question 19.

(a) (1, 0)
(b) (-1, 1)
(c) (0, 1)
(d) (1, 1)
Solution:
(d) (1, 1)
Hint:
(1 + ω)⁷ = A + Bω
(- ω²)⁷ = A + Bω
– ω¹⁴ = A + Bω
– ω² = A + Bω
1 + ω² = A + Bω
∴ A = 1, B = 1

= ω² – ω – ω + ω² + ω² – ω = 3k
= 3ω² – 3ω = 3k
= 3(ω² – ω) = 3k
∴ k = ω² – ω
