MCQ
Choose the correct answer. The point represented by the complex number 2 - i is rotated about origin through an angle $\frac{\pi}{2}$ in the clockwise direction, the new position of point is:
  • A
    1 + 2i
  • -1 - 2i
  • C
    2 + i
  • D
    -1 + 2i

Answer

Correct option: B.
-1 - 2i
Given that, $\text{z}=2-\text{i}$
If z rotated through an angle of $\frac{\pi}{2}$ about the origin in clockwise direction.
Then the new position $=\text{z}\cdot\text{e}^{-\big(\frac{\pi}{2}\big)}$
$=(2-\text{i})\text{e}^{-\big(\frac{\pi}{2}\big)}$
$=(2-\text{i})\Big[\cos\Big(\frac{-\pi}{2}\Big)+\text{i}\sin\Big(\frac{-\pi}{2}\Big)\Big]$
$=(2-\text{i})(0-\text{i})$
$=-1-2\text{i}$
