The sum of all possible values of , for which is purely imaginary, is equal to :
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
-
Let We want to be purely imaginary, so its real part must be zero.
-
Put Then
-
Rationalize the denominator: Now, since . Also, Hence,
-
Therefore, For to be purely imaginary, So, Thus,
-
Now find all satisfying this.
For : Within , these are
For : Within , these are
So all possible values are
-
Their sum is The first four terms cancel to , so
-
Therefore, the correct option is So option B is correct.
