Complex Numbers And Quadratic Equations question 45

Question: The values of $ x $ and $ y $ for which the numbers $ 3+ix^{2}y $ and $ x^{2}+y+4i $ are conjugate complex can be

Options:

A) $ (-2,-1) $ or $ (2,-1) $

B) $ (-1,2) $ or $ (-2,1) $

C) $ (1,2) $ or $ (-1,-2) $

D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

According to condition, $ 3-ix^{2}y=x^{2}+y+4i $
Þ $ x^{2}+y=3 $ and $ x^{2}y=-4 $
Þ $ x=\pm 2,y=-1 $
Þ $ (x,y)=(2,-1) $ or $ (-2,-1) $
