Suppose z is any root of 11z8+21iz7+10iz-22=0 where i=-1. Then, S=|z|2+|z|+1 satisfies

  • A
    S≤3
  • Correct answer
    B
    3<S<7
  • C
    7≤S<13
  • D
    S≥13

Solution

We have,

11z8+20iz7+10iz-22=0

⇒z8+2011iz7+10i11z-2=0

Root of equation are z1,z2,z3,z4,z5,…,z8

∑i=18zi=2011i

z1z2z3z4z5z6z7z8=2

⇒z1z2z3z4z5z6z7z8=2

⇒z1z2z3z4z4z5z6z7z8=2

∵1<zi<2

∴S=|z|2+|z|+1

⇒1+1+1<|z|2+|z|+1<22+2+1

⇒3<|z|2+|z|+1<7

∴3<S<7

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