MCQ
The sum of two complex numbers a + ib and c + id is purely imaginary if
  • A
    a + c = 0
  • B
    a + d = 0
  • C
    b + d = 0
  • D
    b + c = 0

Answer

  1. a + c = 0

Solutions:

It is given that

z1​ = a + ib and

z2​ = c + id

z1​ + z2​ = (a+c) + i(b+d)

z​+ z2​ is purely imaginary. (Given)

Then the real part has to be 0.

Hence

a + c = 0.
