Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations
Case Study Based Questions
Read the following passages and answer the questions that follow:
1. Two complex numbers Z₁ = a + ib and Z₂ = c + id are said to be equal if a = c and b = d.
(A) If (2a + 2b) + i(ba) = -4i, then find the real values of a and b.
(B) If (x + y) + i(x − y) = 4 + 6i, then find xy.
(C) Express the given expression (1 + i)(1 + 2i) in the form a + ib and find the values of a
and b.
Ans. (A) We have (2a + 2b) + i(ba) = -4i Here
2a + 2b=0
a+b=0 ..... (i)
and b-a=-4 ...(ii)
On adding eq. (i) and (ii), we get a= 2 and b = -2
(B) Given that (x + y) + i(x − y) = 4 + 6i
Hence,
x+y=4
x-y=6
by solving equations
x= 5,y=-1
then xy=-5
(C) Given expression: (1 + i)(1 + 2))
Hence,
(1+)(1 + 2) = 1(1) +1(2)) + i + 2i()
(1+)(1 +2)=1+2i+i+2i²
(1+)(1 + 2) = 1 + 2i+i+2(-1) [As, i² = -1)
(1+i)(1+2)=1+2i+i-2
(1+)(1 + 2) = -1 + 3/
Hence, the expression (1 + i)(1 + 2) in the
form of a + bi is -1 + 3i.
Thus, the value of a = -1 and b = 3.
2. A complex number z is pure real if and only if z = z and is pure imaginary if and only if
(A) If (1 + i)z = (1-i)z, then iz is:
(a) -z
(b) z
(c) z
(d) z-1
(B)
(C) If x and y are real numbers and the complex number
is pure real, the relation between x and y is:
(a) 8x-17y = 16
(b) 8x + 17y = 16
(c) 17x-8y = 16
(d) 17x-8y = -16
(D)
(E) Assertion (A): The value of the expression: ¡30 +i40+ ¡60 is 1.
Reason (R): The values of it and i² are 1 and -1.
(a) Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
(b) Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
(c) (A) is true but (R) is false.
(d) (A) is false but (R) is true.
Ans. (A) (b) z
Explanation: Since, (1 + i)z = (1-i) z
(B)
(D)
(E) (a) Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
Explanation: ¡30 +i40 +i60
The given expression can be simplified as follows:
