Correct answer: B

  1. Let z=x+iy⇒z‾=x−iyz=x+iy \quad \Rightarrow \quad \overline z = x-iyz=x+iy⇒z=x−iy where x,y∈Rx,y\in\mathbb Rx,y∈R.

  2. The given equation is z2+3z‾=0.z^2+3\overline z=0.z2+3z=0. Substitute z=x+iyz=x+iyz=x+iy: (x+iy)2+3(x−iy)=0.(x+iy)^2+3(x-iy)=0.(x+iy)2+3(x−iy)=0.

  3. Expand: (x2−y2+2ixy)+3x−3iy=0.(x^2-y^2+2ixy)+3x-3iy=0.(x2−y2+2ixy)+3x−3iy=0. So, (x2−y2+3x)+i(2xy−3y)=0.(x^2-y^2+3x)+i(2xy-3y)=0.(x2−y2+3x)+i(2xy−3y)=0.

  4. Equating real and imaginary parts: x2−y2+3x=0x^2-y^2+3x=0x2−y2+3x=0 2xy−3y=0.2xy-3y=0.2xy−3y=0. The second equation gives y(2x−3)=0.y(2x-3)=0.y(2x−3)=0. Hence, either:

  • Case 1: y=0y=0y=0
  • Case 2: 2x−3=0⇒x=322x-3=0 \Rightarrow x=\frac322x−3=0⇒x=23​
  1. Case 1: y=0y=0y=0

Then the real-part equation becomes x2+3x=0x^2+3x=0x2+3x=0 x(x+3)=0.x(x+3)=0.x(x+3)=0. So, x=0orx=−3.x=0 \quad \text{or} \quad x=-3.x=0orx=−3. Thus solutions are z=0, −3.z=0,\,-3.z=0,−3.

  1. Case 2: x=32x=\frac32x=23​

Then x2−y2+3x=0x^2-y^2+3x=0x2−y2+3x=0 (32)2−y2+3(32)=0\left(\frac32\right)^2-y^2+3\left(\frac32\right)=0(23​)2−y2+3(23​)=0 94−y2+92=0\frac94-y^2+\frac92=049​−y2+29​=0 274−y2=0\frac{27}{4}-y^2=0427​−y2=0 y2=274y^2=\frac{27}{4}y2=427​ y=±332.y=\pm \frac{3\sqrt3}{2}.y=±233​​. Thus two more solutions are z=32±i332.z=\frac32 \pm i\frac{3\sqrt3}{2}.z=23​±i233​​.

  1. Therefore, total number of solutions is n=4.n=4.n=4.

  2. Now evaluate ∑k=0∞1nk=∑k=0∞(14)k.\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^k}=\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \left(\frac14\right)^k.∑k=0∞​nk1​=∑k=0∞​(41​)k. This is an infinite GP with first term 111 and common ratio 14\frac1441​. Hence, S=11−14=134=43.S=\frac{1}{1-\frac14}=\frac{1}{\frac34}=\frac43.S=1−41​1​=43​1​=34​.

  3. So the required value is 43.\boxed{\frac43}.34​​. This corresponds to option B.
