Complex Numbers And Quadratic Equations question 455

Question: If $ k+| k+z^{2} |={{| z |}^{2}}(k\in {R^{-}}) $ , then possible argument of z is

Options:

A) 0

B) $ \pi $

C) $ \pi /2 $

D) none of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

[c] $ | k+z^{2} |=| z^{2} |-k=| z^{2} |+| k | $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ k,z^{2} $ and 0+i0 are collinear
$ \Rightarrow $ arg ( $ z^{2} $ )= arg (k)
$ \Rightarrow $ 2 arg (z) = $ \pi $
$ \Rightarrow $ arg (z) = $ \frac{\pi }{2} $
