Let be the point obtained by the rotation of about the origin through a right angle in the anticlockwise direction, and be the point obtained by the rotation of about the origin through a right angle in the clockwise direction. Then the principal argument of is equal to :
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
- Use rotation in the complex plane
A rotation about the origin by:
- anticlockwise corresponds to multiplication by .
- clockwise corresponds to multiplication by .
- Find
Given
After a right-angle anticlockwise rotation,
So,
- Find
Given
After a right-angle clockwise rotation,
So,
- Compute
- Find the principal argument of
The point lies in the second quadrant, so its principal argument is
- Match with the options
This corresponds to:
So the correct option is C.
