Q50 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2021 (20 Aug Shift 2) · Mathematics

If z1+z22=z12+z22, where z1 and z2 are two complex numbers, then

  • A
    z1z2 is purely real
  • Correct answer
    B
    z1z2 is purely imaginary
  • C
    argz1z2=π4
  • D
    z1z2=1

Solution

Given that: z1+z22=z12+z22, where z1 and z2 are two complex numbers

z1+z22=z12+z22+2z1z2cos(x-y), where x & y are arguments of z1 & z2.

Here, 2z1z2cos(x-y)=0

⇒cos(x-y)=0 

⇒x-y=(2n-1)π2 where n∈I

Now, arg(z1z2)=arg(z1)-arg(z2)=x-y=(2n-1)π2 where n∈I

⇒z1z2 is a purely imaginary.

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