Correct answer: C

  1. Use rotation in the complex plane

A rotation about the origin by:

  • 90∘90^\circ90∘ anticlockwise corresponds to multiplication by iii.
  • 90∘90^\circ90∘ clockwise corresponds to multiplication by −i-i−i.

  1. Find w1w_1w1​

Given z1=5+4iz_1=5+4iz1​=5+4i

After a right-angle anticlockwise rotation, w1=iz1=i(5+4i)=5i+4i2=5i−4=−4+5iw_1=i z_1=i(5+4i)=5i+4i^2=5i-4=-4+5iw1​=iz1​=i(5+4i)=5i+4i2=5i−4=−4+5i

So, w1=−4+5iw_1=-4+5iw1​=−4+5i


  1. Find w2w_2w2​

Given z2=3+5iz_2=3+5iz2​=3+5i

After a right-angle clockwise rotation, w2=(−i)z2=−i(3+5i)=−3i−5i2=−3i+5=5−3iw_2=(-i)z_2=-i(3+5i)=-3i-5i^2=-3i+5=5-3iw2​=(−i)z2​=−i(3+5i)=−3i−5i2=−3i+5=5−3i

So, w2=5−3iw_2=5-3iw2​=5−3i


  1. Compute w1−w2w_1-w_2w1​−w2​

w1−w2=(−4+5i)−(5−3i)=−9+8iw_1-w_2=(-4+5i)-(5-3i)=-9+8iw1​−w2​=(−4+5i)−(5−3i)=−9+8i


  1. Find the principal argument of −9+8i-9+8i−9+8i

The point (−9,8)(-9,8)(−9,8) lies in the second quadrant, so its principal argument is arg⁡(−9+8i)=π−tan⁡−1(89)\arg(-9+8i)=\pi-\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{8}{9}\right)arg(−9+8i)=π−tan−1(98​)


  1. Match with the options

This corresponds to: π−tan⁡−189\boxed{\pi-\tan^{-1}\frac{8}{9}}π−tan−198​​

So the correct option is C.
