Q55 / 155 · WBJEE 2019 · Mathematics

Let $z$ be a complex number such that the principal value of argument, arg $z>0$ Then, arg $z-\arg (-z)$ is

  • A
    $\frac{\pi}{2}$
  • B
    $\pm \pi$
  • Correct answer
    C
    $\pi$
  • D
    $-\pi$

Solution

$\begin{aligned} \therefore \arg (z)-\arg (-z) &=\theta-(-\pi+\theta) \\ &=\pi \end{aligned}$ Figure

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