Correct answer: D

  1. Given point AAA

    z1=3+22 iz_1=\sqrt{3}+2\sqrt{2}\,iz1​=3​+22​i

    So its modulus is ∣z1∣=(3)2+(22)2=3+8=11.|z_1|=\sqrt{(\sqrt{3})^2+(2\sqrt{2})^2}=\sqrt{3+8}=\sqrt{11}.∣z1​∣=(3​)2+(22​)2​=3+8​=11​.

    Also, tan⁡arg⁡(z1)=223.\tan\arg(z_1)=\frac{2\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}}.tanarg(z1​)=3​22​​. Since both real and imaginary parts are positive, AAA lies in the first quadrant.

  2. Find modulus and argument of z2z_2z2​

    We are given 3∣z2∣=∣z1∣=11\sqrt{3}|z_2|=|z_1|=\sqrt{11}3​∣z2​∣=∣z1​∣=11​ so ∣z2∣=113.|z_2|=\frac{\sqrt{11}}{\sqrt{3}}.∣z2​∣=3​11​​.

    Also, arg⁡(z2)=arg⁡(z1)+π6.\arg(z_2)=\arg(z_1)+\frac{\pi}{6}.arg(z2​)=arg(z1​)+6π​.

  3. Lengths of sides of triangle ABOABOABO

    Since OOO is origin:

    • OA=∣z1∣=11,OA=|z_1|=\sqrt{11},OA=∣z1​∣=11​,
    • OB=∣z2∣=113.OB=|z_2|=\frac{\sqrt{11}}{\sqrt{3}}.OB=∣z2​∣=3​11​​.

    The angle between OAOAOA and OBOBOB is ∠AOB=arg⁡(z2)−arg⁡(z1)=π6.\angle AOB=\arg(z_2)-\arg(z_1)=\frac{\pi}{6}.∠AOB=arg(z2​)−arg(z1​)=6π​.

  4. Find area of triangle ABOABOABO

    Using formula Area=12 OA⋅OB⋅sin⁡∠AOB,\text{Area}=\frac12\, OA\cdot OB\cdot \sin\angle AOB,Area=21​OA⋅OB⋅sin∠AOB, we get Area=12⋅11⋅113⋅sin⁡π6.\text{Area}=\frac12\cdot \sqrt{11}\cdot \frac{\sqrt{11}}{\sqrt{3}}\cdot \sin\frac{\pi}{6}.Area=21​⋅11​⋅3​11​​⋅sin6π​.

    Since sin⁡π6=12\sin \frac{\pi}{6}=\frac12sin6π​=21​, Area=12⋅113⋅12=1143.\text{Area}=\frac12\cdot \frac{11}{\sqrt{3}}\cdot \frac12=\frac{11}{4\sqrt{3}}.Area=21​⋅3​11​⋅21​=43​11​.

    So:

    • Option A: 114\frac{11}{4}411​ is false
    • Option B: 113\frac{11}{\sqrt{3}}3​11​ is false
  5. Check whether triangle is scalene or isosceles

    We already have OA=11,OB=113.OA=\sqrt{11},\qquad OB=\frac{\sqrt{11}}{\sqrt{3}}.OA=11​,OB=3​11​​.

    Now find ABABAB using cosine rule: AB2=OA2+OB2−2(OA)(OB)cos⁡π6.AB^2=OA^2+OB^2-2(OA)(OB)\cos\frac{\pi}{6}.AB2=OA2+OB2−2(OA)(OB)cos6π​.

    Substitute: AB2=11+113−2⋅11⋅113⋅32.AB^2=11+\frac{11}{3}-2\cdot \sqrt{11}\cdot \frac{\sqrt{11}}{\sqrt{3}}\cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}.AB2=11+311​−2⋅11​⋅3​11​​⋅23​​.

    Simplify the last term: 2⋅11⋅113⋅32=11.2\cdot \sqrt{11}\cdot \frac{\sqrt{11}}{\sqrt{3}}\cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=11.2⋅11​⋅3​11​​⋅23​​=11.

    Hence AB2=11+113−11=113,AB^2=11+\frac{11}{3}-11=\frac{11}{3},AB2=11+311​−11=311​, so AB=113=113=OB.AB=\sqrt{\frac{11}{3}}=\frac{\sqrt{11}}{\sqrt{3}}=OB.AB=311​​=3​11​​=OB.

    Therefore, AB=OB,AB=OB,AB=OB, so triangle ABOABOABO is isosceles, not scalene.

    Thus:

    • Option C is false.
  6. Check whether the isosceles triangle is obtuse angled

    Since AB=OBAB=OBAB=OB, the equal sides meet at BBB, so the base is OAOAOA.

    The largest side is OA=11.OA=\sqrt{11}.OA=11​.

    Check: OA2=11,OA^2=11,OA2=11, and OB2+AB2=113+113=223.OB^2+AB^2=\frac{11}{3}+\frac{11}{3}=\frac{22}{3}.OB2+AB2=311​+311​=322​.

    Since 11>223,11>\frac{22}{3},11>322​, the angle opposite OAOAOA is obtuse. That angle is ∠ABO\angle ABO∠ABO.

    Hence triangle ABOABOABO is an obtuse angled isosceles triangle.

    So option D is true.

  7. Final evaluation of options

    • A: False
    • B: False
    • C: False
    • D: True

Therefore, the correct answer is D.
