True False[1 Marks ]

Question 11 Mark

State True or False for the following:
Let $z_1$ and $z_2$ be two complex numbers such that $|z_1 + z_2| = |z_1| + |z_2|$, then $arg(z_1 - z_2) = 0.$

Answer

False.Solution:
$|\text{z}_1+\text{z}_2|=|\text{z}_1|+|\text{z}_2|$
$\Rightarrow|\text{z}_1+\text{z}_2|^2=|\text{z}_1|^2+|\text{z}_2|^2+2|\text{z}_1||\text{z}_2|$
$\Rightarrow|\text{z}_1|^2+|\text{z}_2|^2+2\text{Re}
(\text{z}_1\bar{\text{z}}_2)=|\text{z}_1|^2+|\text{z}_2|^2+2|\text{z}_1||\text{z}_2|$
$\Rightarrow2\text{Re}(\text{z}_1\bar{\text{z}}_2)=2|\text{z}_1||\text{z}_2|$
$\Rightarrow\cos(\theta_1-\theta_2)=1$
$\Rightarrow\theta_1-\theta_2=0$
$\Rightarrow\arg(\text{z}_1)-\arg(\text{z}_2)=0$

Question 31 Mark

State True or False for the following:
The order relation is defined on the set of complex numbers.

Answer

False.Solution:
We can compare two complex numbers when they are purely real. Otherwise comparison of complex numbers is not possible or has no meaning.

Question 41 Mark

State True or False for the following:
If $z$ is a complex number such that $z \neq 0$ and Re $(z) = 0,$ then Im $(z^2) = 0.$

Answer

False.Solution:
Let $z = x +$ iy, $z ≠ 0$ and $Re(z) = 0$ i.e., $x = 0 $
$\therefore z = iy\ Im(z^2) = i^2y^2 = -y^2 \neq 0$

Question 51 Mark

State True or False for the following:
The inequality |z - 4| < |z - 2| represents the region given by x > 3.

Answer

True.Solution:
We have, |z - 4| < |z - 2| Putting z = x + iy, we get $|\text{x}-4+\text{iy}|<|\text{x}-2+\text{iy}|$ $\Rightarrow\sqrt{(\text{x}-4)^2+\text{y}^2}<\sqrt{(\text{x}-2)^2+\text{y}^2}$ $\Rightarrow(\text{x}-4)^2+\text{y}^2<(\text{x}-2)^2+\text{y}^2$ $\Rightarrow\text{x}^2-8\text{x}+16+\text{y}^2<\text{x}^2-4\text{x}+4+\text{y}^2$ $\Rightarrow-8\text{x}+16<-4\text{x}+4$ $\Rightarrow4\text{x}>12$ $\Rightarrow\text{x}>3$

Question 61 Mark

State True or False for the following:
For any complex number z the minimum value of |z| + | z - 1| is 1.

Answer

True.Solution:
We know that $|\text{z}_1|+|\text{z}_2|\geq|\text{z}_1-\text{z}_1|$ $\Rightarrow|\text{z}|+|\text{z}-1|\geq|\text{z}-(\text{z}-1)|$ $\Rightarrow|\text{z}|+|\text{z}-1|\geq1$ So, minimum value of |z| + |z - 1| is 1. Alternative method Let A(z) and B(1) $\Rightarrow|\text{z}|+\text{z}-1|=\text{OA}+\text{AB},$ where O is origin From triangular inequality, we get $\text{OA}+\text{AB}\geq\text{OB}$ $\Rightarrow(\text{OA}+\text{AB})_{\text{min}}=\text{OB}=1$

Question 71 Mark

State True or False for the following:
The locus represented by$| z - 1| = |z - i|$ is a line perpendicular to the join of $(1, 0)$ and $(0, 1).$

Answer

True.
Solution:
We have, $|z - 1| = |z - i|$ Putting $z = x + iy,$
we get $\Rightarrow |x - 1 + iy| = |x - i(1 - y)| $
$\Rightarrow (x - 1)^2 + y^2 = x^2 + (1 - y)^2 $
$\Rightarrow x^2 - 2x + 1 + y^2 = x^2 + 1 + y^2 - 2y $
$\Rightarrow -2x + 1 = 1 - 2y \Rightarrow -2x + 2y = 0 $
$\Rightarrow x - y = 0$
Now, equation of a line through the points $(1, 0)$ and $(0, 1)$ is,
$\text{y}-0=\frac{1-0}{0-1}(\text{x}-1)$ Or $x + y = 1$
This line is perpendicular to the line $x - y = 0$

Question 81 Mark

State True or False for the following:
Multiplication of a non zero complex number by -i rotates the point about origin through a right angle in the anti-clockwise direction.

Answer

False.Solution:
Let $z = x + iy,$ where $x, y > 0$
i.e., $z$ or point $A(x, y)$ lies in first quadrant.
Now, $-iz = -i(x + iy) = -ix - i^2y = y - ix$
Now, point $B(y, -x)$ lies in fourth quadrant.
Also, $\angle AOB = 90^\circ$
Thus, $B$ is obtained by rotating $A$ in clockwise direction about origin.
