1. (1)

Given,
2 2
X ={z ∈ C : Re(az + bz)= a and Re(bz + az)= b}

Now, let z = x + iy
So, Re(az
2
+ bz)= a

2
⇒ Re(a(x + iy) + b(x + iy))= a

2 2
⇒ Re(a(x − y + 2ixy)+b(x + iy))= a

2 2
⇒ a(x − y )+bx = a . . . (i)

And, Re(bz
2
+ az)= b

2
⇒ Re(b(x + iy) + a(x + iy))= b

2 2
⇒ Re(b(x − y + 2ixy)+a(x + iy))= b

2 2
⇒ b(x − y )+ax = b . . . (ii)

From (i) and (ii), (i)−(ii) we get,

2 2
(x − y )(a − b)−x(a − b)= a − b

2 2
⇒ x − y − x = 1 . . . (iii)

From (i) and (ii), (i)+(ii)

((x
2 2
− y )+x − 1)(a + b)= 0 (Note: here a + b ≠ 0 is considered but it is not clear from the question)
2 2
⇒ x − y + x − 1 = 0 . . . (iv)

Now from (iii) and (iv) we get,

x = 0, y
2
= −1 (No solution)

2. (2)

Given,
α, β, z ∈ C and λ > 1,
And √λ − 1 is the radius of the circle |z − α| 2
+ |z − β|
2
= 2λ

Now we know that equation of circle is given by,

| z1 −z2 |
, where radius is given by r = ,
2 2 2
|z − z1 | + |z − z2 | = |z1 − z2 |
2

On comparing with |z − α| , we get

2 2
+ |z − β| = 2λ

| z1 −z2 | | α−β |
Radius and |α − β|
2
= = 2λ
2 2
| α−β |
⇒ = √λ − 1 (given)
2

⇒|α − β|= 2√λ − 1

2
⇒ |α − β| = 4(λ − 1)

⇒ 2λ = 4(λ − 1)

⇒ λ = 2

Hence, |α − β|
2
= 4 ⇒|α − β|= 2

3. (2)

Given,
z = α + iβ & |z + 2|= z + 4(1 + i)

Now putting the value of z = α + iβ in |z + 2|= z + 4(1 + i) we get,

|z + 2|= z + 4(1 + i)

2
⇒ √(α + 2)
2
+ β =(α + 4)+i(β + 4)

Now on comparing real and imaginary part, we get

√(α + 2)
2
+ β
2
= α + 4. . . (i) and β + 4 = 0 ⇒ β = −4 . . . (ii)

Now solving,
2
√(α + 2) + 16 = α + 4

2 2
⇒ α + 4α + 20 = α + 8α + 16

⇒ α = 1

So, α + β = −3, αβ = −4

We know that quadratic equation is given by,

2
x −(sum of roots)x +(product of roots)= 0

So, equation with roots −3 and −4 will be,

2
x + 7x + 12 = 0

4. (1)

Let

z =
1−i sin θ

1+2i sin θ 1+i sin θ

⇒ z = ×
1−i sin θ 1+i sin θ
2
1−2 sin θ+3i sin θ
⇒ z =
2
1+sin θ
2
1−2 sin θ 3 sin θ
⇒ z =( )+i( )
2 2
1+sin θ 1+sin θ

Since, z is a purely imaginary number, so real part must be zero, hence

2
1−2 sin θ
= 0
2
1+sin θ

2
⇒ 1 − 2 sin θ = 0

⇒ cos 2θ = 0

⇒ θ =

5. (3)

Given,
The complex number z = x + iy be such that is purely imaginary,
2z−3i

2z+i

Now putting the value of z = x + iy in 2z−3i

2z+i
we get,
2 ( x+iy ) −3i ( 2x+i ( 2y−3 ) ) ( 2x−i ( 2y+1 ) )
=
2 ( x+iy ) +i ( 2x+i ( 2y+1 ) ) ( 2x−i ( 2y+1 ) )

Now taking real part as,

2
4x + ( 2y−3 ) ( 2y+1 )
= 0
2 2
4x + ( 2y+1 )

2 2
⇒ 4x + 4y − 4y − 3 = 0

2 2 3
⇒ x + y − y − = 0
4

Now using,
x + y
2
= 0⇒ x = −y
2
we get,
2 2 3
x + y − y − = 0

4 2 3
⇒ y + y − y − = 0

⇒ y + y − y =

6. (2)

We have,
2z−3i
Z =
4z+2i

2x+i ( 2y−3 )
⇒ Z =
4x+i ( 4y+2 )

2x+i ( 2y−3 ) 4x−i ( 4y+2 )

⇒ Z = ×
4x+i ( 4y+2 ) 4x−i ( 4y+2 )
2
8x + ( 4y+2 ) ( 2y−3 ) +i [ 4x ( 2y−3 ) − ( 8xy+4x ) ]
⇒ Z =
2 2
16x + ( 4y+2 )

4x ( 2y−3 ) − ( 8xy+4x )
Since, Z is purely real, so 2
2
= 0
16x + ( 4y+2 )

⇒ −12x + 8xy −(8xy + 4x)= 0

⇒ x = 0

And,
4x + i(4y + 2)≠ 0

⇒ i(4y + 2)≠ 0

1
⇒ y ≠ −
2

Hence this is the required option.

7. (1)

Given,
Two complex numbers w 1 & w2

w1 = 3 + 5i and w 2 = 5 + 4i are both rotated by 90 with respect to origin anticlock-wise and clockwise respectively,
∘

So by concept of rotation we get,

w3 = iw1 = i(3 + 5i)= −5 + 3i

And w 4 = −iw2 = −i(5 + 4i)= 4 − 5i

Now principal argument of w 3 − w4 = −9 + 8i will be π − tan −1 8

9
{as complex number is in second quadrant so principal argument is given by
y
π − tan
−1 ∣
∣ x

∣ }

8. (4)
Let a = x 1 + iy1 , ā = x1 − iy1

And z = x 2 + iy2 , z̄ = x2 − iy2

Now,
a + z̄ =(x1 + x2 )+i(y1 − y2 )

and ā + z =(x 1
+ x2 )+i(y2 − y1 )

Now according to the question,

Re(a + z̄ ) = x1 + x2 and
Im(ā + z) = y2 − y1

A ={z : x1 + x2 > y2 − y1 }={z : x1 + y1 + x2 > y2 }

B ={z : x1 + x2 < y2 − y1 }={z : x1 + y1 + x2 < y2 }

If y2 = 0 and x 1, y1 > 0 then

A = {z : x2 > −(x1 + y1 )}

A covers a part of negative real axis and therefore, does not contain whole real axis
Similarly if y 2 = 0 , and x 1, y1 < 0 , then
B = {z : x2 < −(x1 + y1 )}

∴ B covers part of positive real axis and therefore does not cover whole real axis.
Hence, both are false.

But Im(

⇒(x − y )(2xy + 8x − 2xy + 3x)+(8y + 15)(2xy − 3x)+(2xy + 8x)(3y − 2)= 0

⇒ 11x − 11xy + 16xy − 24xy + 30xy − 45x + 6xy − 4xy + 24xy − 16x = 0

3 2
⇒ 11x + 11xy + 26xy − 61x = 0

Given,
w = zz̄ + k1 z + k2 iz + λ(1 + i), k1 , k2 ∈ R. .
And Re(w) = 0,
So, taking z = x + iy & z̄ = x − iy

We get,
2 2
w = x + y + k1 (x + iy)+k2 i(x + iy)+λ(1 + i)

2 2
⇒ Re(w)= 0 ⇒ x + y + k1 x − k2 y + λ = 0

And, Im(w) = 0 ⇒ k 1
y + k2 x + λ = 0

Now given Re(w) = 0 circle is touching y = 1 and y−axis, with radius 1, so we have equation of circle
2 2
x + y − 2x − 4y + 4 = 0

So, on comparing with Re(w) = 0 we get,

k1 = −2, k2 = 4, λ = 4

So, Im(w) = 0 ⇒ −2y + 4x + 4 = 0

And given −2 y + 4 x + 4 = 0 intersects the circle,
So, solving x 2

Now, let z = x + iy, so z̄ = x − iy

Now putting the value in, z̄ = i(z

2
z̄ = i(z + Re(z̄ ))

2 2
⇒ x − iy = i(x − y + 2ixy + x)

2 2
⇒ x − iy = i(x − y + x)−2xy

Now comparing real part we get,

⇒ x = −2xy ⇒ x(2y + 1) = 0

−1
⇒ x = 0, y = . . . . .(1)

And imaginary part we get,

−y = x − y + x . . . . . . .(2)

Now taking Case (I) when x = 0 in equation (2) we get,

Let z = x + iy
2 2

2−3 ( x+iy ) +5 ( x−iy )

2 2
x +y +i ( 2y )

2 2
( x +y +2yi ) ( 2 ( 1+x ) +8iy )

2 2 2
2 ( x +y ) ( 1+x ) −16y

Now D ≥ 0

Range of f (y)= (−0. 125, 1. 125]

⇒ α = − 0. 125

⇒ β = 1. 125

⇒ β − α = 1. 25

⇒ 24(β − α)= 30

Hence this is the required solution.
