MCQ on Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations

Q1. Given z = (1 + i√3)100, then find the value of Re (z) / Im (z).
a) -1 / √3.
b) 1 / √3.
c) 1 
d) √3.

View Answer

Let z = (1 + i√3)

r = √[3 + 1] = 2 and r cosθ = 1, r sinθ = √3 tanθ = √3 = tan π / 3 ⇒ θ = π / 3.

z = 2 (cos π / 3 + i sin π / 3)

z100 = [2 (cos π / 3 + i sin π / 3)]100

= 2100 (cos 100π / 3 + i sin 100π / 3)

= 2100 (−cos π / 3 − i sin π / 3)

= 2100(−1 / 2 −i √3 / 2)

Re(z) / Im(z) = [−1/2] / [−√3 / 2] = 1 / √3.

Q2. If x = a + b, y = aα + bβ and z = aβ + bα, where α and β are complex cube roots of unity, then what is the value of xyz?
a) a2 + b2
b) a3 + b3
c) a + b
d) none

View Answer

If x = a + b, y = aα + bβ and z = aβ + bα, then xyz = (a + b) (aω + bω2) (aω2 + bω),where α = ω and β = ω2 = (a + b) (a2 + abω2 + abω + b2)

= (a + b) (a2− ab + b2)

= a3 + b3

Q3. The real values of x and y for which the equation is (x + iy) (2 − 3i) = 4 + i is satisfied, are __________.
a) x = 5 / 13, y = 14 / 13
b) x = 7 / 13, y = 11 / 13
c) x = 14 / 13, y = 5 / 13
d) x = 5 / 13, y = 10 / 13

View Answer

Equation (x + iy) (2 − 3i) = 4 + i

(2x + 3y) + i (−3x + 2y) = 4 + i

Equating real and imaginary parts, we get

2x + 3y = 4 ……(i)

−3x + 2y = 1 ……(ii)

From (i) and (ii), we get

x = 5 / 13, y = 14 / 13

Q4.  If ω is an imaginary cube root of unity, (1 + ω − ω2)7 equals to ___________.
a) 128ω2
b) -128ω2
c) -120ω2
d) 120ω2

View Answer

(1 + ω − ω2)= (1 + ω + ω− 2ω2)7

= (−2ω2)7

= −128ω14

= −128ω12ω2

= −128ω2

Q5. If z is a complex number, then the minimum value of |z| + |z − 1| is ______.
a) -1
b) 0
c) 1
d) None 

View Answer

First, note that |−z|=|z| and |z1 + z2| ≤ |z1| + |z2|

Now |z| + |z − 1| = |z| + |1 − z| ≥ |z + (1 − z)|

= |1|

= 1

Hence, minimum value of |z| + |z − 1| is 1.

Q6. If (1 − i) x + (1 + i) y = 1 − 3i, then (x, y) = ______________.
a) (2,-2)
b) (2,-1)
c) (2,1)
d) (2,-1)

View Answer

(1 − i) x + (1 + i) y = 1 − 3i

⇒ (x + y) + i (−x + y) = 1 − 3i

Equating real and imaginary parts, we get x + y = 1 and −x + y = −3;

So, x = 2, y = −1.

Thus, the point is (2, −1).

Q7.  For any two complex numbers z1 and z2 and any real numbers a and b; |(az1 − bz2)|2 + |(bz1 + az2)|2 = ___________.

View Answer

|(az1 − bz2)|+ |(bz1 + az2)|2

= a2 |z1|2 + b2|z2|2 − 2 Re (ab)|z1\overline{z2}| + b2 |z1|+ a2|z2|2 + 2 Re (ab)|\overline{z1}z2|

= (a2 + b2) (|z1|2 + |z2|2)

Q8. The common roots of the equations x12 − 1 = 0, x4 + x2 + 1 = 0 are __________.  
a) x = ± 1, ± ω
b) x = ± ω, 0
c) x = ± ω2, ± ω
d) x = ± ω3, ± ω2

View Answer

x12 − 1 = (x6 + 1) (x6 − 1)

= (x6 + 1) (x2 − 1) (x4 + x2 + 1)

Common roots are given by x4 + x2 + 1 =0

x2 = [−1 ± i √3] / [2] = ω, ω2 or ω4, ω2 (Because ω3 = 1) or

x = ± ω2, ± ω

Q9. Suppose z1, z2, z3 are the vertices of an equilateral triangle inscribed in the circle |z| = 2. If z1 = 1 + i√3, then find the values of z3 and z2.

View Answer

One of the numbers must be a conjugate of z1 = 1 + i√3 i.e. z2 = 1 − i√3 or z3 = zei2π/3 and

z2 = ze−i2π/3 , z= (1 + i√3) [cos (2π / 3) + i sin (2π / 3)] = −2

Q10. The difference between the corresponding roots of x2 + ax + b = 0 and x+ bx + a = 0 is same and a≠b, then what is the relation between a and b?

View Answer

Let α, β and γ,δ be the roots of the equations x2 + ax + b = 0 and x+ bx + a = 0, respectively therefore, α + β = −a, αβ = b and δ + γ = −b, γδ = a.

Given |α − β| =|γ − δ| ⇒ (α + β)− αβ

= (γ + δ)−4γδ

⇒ a2 − 4b = b2 − 4a

⇒ (a− b2) + 4 (a − b) = 0

⇒ a + b + 4 = 0 (Because a≠b)
