Let the complex number be such that is purely imaginary. If , then is equal to :
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
-
Let Then So,
-
Given that is purely imaginary.
For a quotient to be purely imaginary, its real part must be zero.
Let Multiply numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator:
We only need the real part of the numerator.
-
Compute the real part of the numerator: Using with Real part: Since the quotient is purely imaginary, Divide by :
-
Also given: Substitute into the previous equation: Hence,
-
Therefore the required value is
-
Option check:
- A: ❌
- B: ❌
- C: ✅
- D: ❌
