Correct answer: C

  1. Let z1=r1eiθ1,z2=r2eiθ2z_1 = r_1 e^{i\theta_1}, \qquad z_2 = r_2 e^{i\theta_2}z1​=r1​eiθ1​,z2​=r2​eiθ2​ where θ1=arg⁡z1\theta_1 = \arg z_1θ1​=argz1​ and θ2=arg⁡z2\theta_2 = \arg z_2θ2​=argz2​.

  2. Given z1‾=i z2‾.\overline{z_1} = i\,\overline{z_2}.z1​​=iz2​​. Taking arguments on both sides: arg⁡(z1‾)=arg⁡(iz2‾).\arg(\overline{z_1}) = \arg(i\overline{z_2}).arg(z1​​)=arg(iz2​​). Now, arg⁡(z1‾)=−θ1,arg⁡(z2‾)=−θ2,arg⁡(i)=π2.\arg(\overline{z_1}) = -\theta_1, \qquad \arg(\overline{z_2}) = -\theta_2, \qquad \arg(i)=\frac{\pi}{2}.arg(z1​​)=−θ1​,arg(z2​​)=−θ2​,arg(i)=2π​. Hence, −θ1=π2−θ2(mod2π).-\theta_1 = \frac{\pi}{2} - \theta_2 \pmod{2\pi}.−θ1​=2π​−θ2​(mod2π). So, \theta_1 = \theta_2 - \frac{\pi}{2} \pmod{2\pi}. \tag{1}

  3. Also given arg⁡(z1z2‾)=π.\arg\left(\frac{z_1}{\overline{z_2}}\right)=\pi.arg(z2​​z1​​)=π. Therefore, arg⁡(z1)−arg⁡(z2‾)=π(mod2π).\arg(z_1)-\arg(\overline{z_2}) = \pi \pmod{2\pi}.arg(z1​)−arg(z2​​)=π(mod2π). Since arg⁡(z2‾)=−θ2\arg(\overline{z_2})=-\theta_2arg(z2​​)=−θ2​, \theta_1 + \theta_2 = \pi \pmod{2\pi}. \tag{2}

  4. Substitute (1) into (2): (θ2−π2)+θ2=π(mod2π).\left(\theta_2 - \frac{\pi}{2}\right)+\theta_2 = \pi \pmod{2\pi}.(θ2​−2π​)+θ2​=π(mod2π). Thus, 2θ2−π2=π(mod2π)2\theta_2 - \frac{\pi}{2} = \pi \pmod{2\pi}2θ2​−2π​=π(mod2π) 2θ2=3π2(mod2π)2\theta_2 = \frac{3\pi}{2} \pmod{2\pi}2θ2​=23π​(mod2π) θ2=3π4(modπ).\theta_2 = \frac{3\pi}{4} \pmod{\pi}. θ2​=43π​(modπ). So possible principal values are θ2=3π4or−π4.\theta_2 = \frac{3\pi}{4} \quad \text{or} \quad -\frac{\pi}{4}.θ2​=43π​or−4π​. Neither matches options A or B.

  5. Now find θ1\theta_1θ1​ using (1): θ1=θ2−π2.\theta_1 = \theta_2 - \frac{\pi}{2}.θ1​=θ2​−2π​. If θ2=3π4\theta_2 = \frac{3\pi}{4}θ2​=43π​, then θ1=π4.\theta_1 = \frac{\pi}{4}.θ1​=4π​. If θ2=−π4\theta_2 = -\frac{\pi}{4}θ2​=−4π​, then θ1=−3π4.\theta_1 = -\frac{3\pi}{4}.θ1​=−43π​.

  6. Check which option is consistent with the principal argument condition arg⁡(z1z2‾)=π.\arg\left(\frac{z_1}{\overline{z_2}}\right)=\pi.arg(z2​​z1​​)=π. Since the argument is specified as π\piπ (not −π-\pi−π), take θ1+θ2=π.\theta_1+\theta_2 = \pi.θ1​+θ2​=π. This is satisfied by θ2=3π4,θ1=π4.\theta_2 = \frac{3\pi}{4}, \qquad \theta_1 = \frac{\pi}{4}.θ2​=43π​,θ1​=4π​.

  7. Therefore, arg⁡z1=π4.\arg z_1 = \frac{\pi}{4}.argz1​=4π​. So the correct option is C.
