Q22 / 54 · JEE Advanced 2022 (Paper 1) · Mathematics

Let z be a complex number with non-zero imaginary part. If 2+3z+4z22-3z+4z2 is a real number, then the value of z2 is ______.

Correct answer: 0.5

Solution

Let α=4z2+3z+24z2-3z+2=1+6z4z2-3z+2

⇒ α=1+622z+1z-3

∵ α∈R then 2z+1z∈R

⇒2z+1z=2z¯+1z¯

⇒2z-z¯-z-z¯z2=0

⇒z-z¯2-1z2=0

∵ z≠z¯  (given)

So z2=12

Hence, the correct answer is 0.5.
