$\frac{3+2 i \sin \theta}{1-2 i \sin \theta}$ will be purely imaginary, if $\theta$ is equal to

  • A
    $2 n \pi \pm \frac{\pi}{3}$
  • B
    $n \pi+\frac{\pi}{3}$
  • Correct answer
    C
    $n \pi \pm \frac{\pi}{3}$
  • D
    None of these

Solution

$z=\frac{3+2 i \cos \theta}{1-2 i \sin \theta}$ is purely imaginary $\begin{aligned} & z=\frac{3+2 i \cos \theta}{1-2 i \sin \theta} \times \frac{1+2 i \sin \theta}{1+2 i \sin \theta} \\ & =\frac{(3-4 \sin \theta \cos \theta)+i(6 \sin \theta+2 \cos \theta)}{1+4 \sin ^2 \theta}\end{aligned}$ for purely imaginary $\operatorname{Re}(Z)=0$ $\begin{aligned} & \therefore \frac{3-4 \sin \theta \cos \theta}{1+4 \sin ^2 \theta}=0 \\ & \therefore 3-4 \sin \theta \cos \theta=0\end{aligned}$ $\sin \theta \cos \theta=\frac{3}{4} \Rightarrow \sin 2 \theta=\frac{3}{2}>1$ which is not possible

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