Q48 / 108 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Mathematics · Complex Number

If equation Z-1n=Zn=1 ∀n∈N has solutions, then n can be

  • A
    4
  • Correct answer
    B
    12
  • C
    15
  • D
    21

Solution

Figure
Z-1n=Zn⇒Z-1=Z⇒x=12 …(i)
Zn=1⇒Z=1⇒x2+y2=1 …(ii)
From (i) & (ii),

 14+y2=1⇒y=±32
⇒12+32i  and  12-32i can be the solutions
Which would exist when n is a multiple of 6 ∵arg12+32i=tan-13=π3⇒least value of n is equal to 2ππ3=6

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
