Q60 / 160 · WBJEE 2010 · Mathematics
If $-\pi < \arg (z) < -\frac{\pi}{2}$ then $\arg \bar{z}-\arg (-\bar{z})$ is
- Correct answerA$\pi$
- B$\square \pi$
- C$\frac{\pi}{2}$
- D$-\frac{\pi}{2}$
Solution
Hints: 
$$ \begin{aligned} & \text { if } \arg (z)=-\pi+\theta \\ & \Rightarrow \arg (\bar{z})=\pi-\theta \\ & \arg (-\bar{z})=-\theta \\ & \arg (\bar{z})-\arg (-\bar{z})=\pi-\theta-(-\theta)=\pi-\theta+\theta=\pi \end{aligned} $$

$$ \begin{aligned} & \text { if } \arg (z)=-\pi+\theta \\ & \Rightarrow \arg (\bar{z})=\pi-\theta \\ & \arg (-\bar{z})=-\theta \\ & \arg (\bar{z})-\arg (-\bar{z})=\pi-\theta-(-\theta)=\pi-\theta+\theta=\pi \end{aligned} $$
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
