Q48 / 91 · KVPY 2020 (SB/SX) · Mathematics

The figure in the complex plane given by
10zz¯-3z2+z¯2+4iz2-z¯2=0

  • Correct answer
    A
    a straight line
  • B
    a circle
  • C
    a parabola
  • D
    an ellipse

Solution

10zz¯-3(z+z¯)2-2zz¯+4i((z+z¯)(z-z¯))=0
Let z=x+iy

10x2+y2-34x2-2x2-2y2+4i(2x(2iy))=0
⇒4x2+16y2-16xy=0
⇒x2-4xy+4y2=0
⇒(x-2y)2=0⇒x=2y
∴ straight line

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