  1. $2$

  2. $3.46$

  3. $4.47$

  4. $6$

  5. $12$

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Let $z=4-2i$

In a complex plane, distance of $z$ from any point origin is given by $|z|=\sqrt{(x _1)^2+(y _1)^2}$
$\therefore$ Distance of $z=4-2i$ from origin is given by $|z|=|4-2i|=\sqrt{4^2+(-2)^2}=\sqrt{20}\approx 4.47$
Hence, the answer is $4.47$.

  1. $2\sqrt{3}+2i$

  2. $2\sqrt{3}-2i$

  3. $-2\sqrt{3}+2i$

  4. $-\sqrt{3}+i$

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Given that


$\Rightarrow |z|=4$ and $Arg \space z=\dfrac{5\pi}{6}$

$\Rightarrow $Let $z=x+iy$

$\Rightarrow |z|=4$ 

$\Rightarrow \sqrt{x^2+y^2}=4$

$\Rightarrow {x^2+y^2}=16$                ...$(1)$

$\Rightarrow Arg \space z=\dfrac{5\pi}{6}$

$\Rightarrow \tan ^{-1}(\dfrac{y}{x})=\dfrac{5\pi}{6}$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{y}{x}=\tan (\dfrac{5\pi}{6})$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{y}{x}=-\dfrac{1}{\sqrt 3}$
  
$\Rightarrow x^2=3y^2$

Substituting this in $(1)$ we get,

$\Rightarrow x^2+\dfrac{x^2}{3}=16$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{4x^2}{3}=16$

$\Rightarrow x^2=12$

$\Rightarrow x=\pm 2\sqrt 3$

$\Rightarrow y=\mp 2$

$\Rightarrow \theta$ lies in $2^{nd} Quadrant$

Hence, $\Rightarrow z=-2\sqrt 3+2i$

  1. $e^a$

  2. $e^b$

  3. $1$

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$|e^{a + ib}| = |e^a . e^{ib}|$


            $= |e^a . (\cos b + i \sin b)|$


            $= e^a |(\cos b + i \sin b)|$

            $= e^a . \sqrt{(\cos b)^2 + (\sin b)^2}$

            $= e^a . \sqrt{1}$

            $= e^a$

  1. (-2,-1)

  2. (-2,1)

  3. (2,-1)

  4. (2,1)

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Let $z=x+ iy$

Then 

$w=\dfrac{z+2i}{z+4}=\dfrac{x+i(2+y)}{(x+4)+iy}$
Rationalizing we get:

$w=\dfrac{z+2i}{z+4}=\dfrac{x+i(2+y)}{(x+4)-iy}\times \dfrac{x+4-iy}{x+4+iy}=\dfrac{x^2+4x+y^2+2y+i(xy+2x+4y+xy+8)}{(x+4)^2+y^2}$
Since real part of $w$ is 0, hence

$(x+2)^2+(y+1)^2-5=0$

Hence centre of circle is $(-2,-1)$

  2. $\dfrac{{5\pi }}{5}$

  3. $\dfrac{{9\pi }}{10}$

  4. $\dfrac{{7\pi }}{10}$

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:
Given that

$\sin { \cfrac { 6\pi  }{ 5 }  } +i\left( 1+\cos { \cfrac { 6\pi  }{ 5 }  }  \right) $

Notice the point $\sin { \left( \cfrac { 6\pi  }{ 5 }  \right)  } +i\left( 1+\cos { \cfrac { 6\pi  }{ 5 }  }  \right) $ or

$-\sin { \left( \cfrac { 6\pi  }{ 5 }  \right)  } +i\left( 1-\cos { \cfrac { \pi  }{ 5 }  }  \right) $ lies in the second quadrant of complex plane hence its argument is given as

$arg\left( z \right) =\pi -\tan ^{ -1 }{ \left| y/x \right|  } \quad $  ($\because z=x+iy$)

$\left( \forall x<0,y\ge 0 \right) $

$arg(z)=\pi -\tan ^{ -1 }{ \left| \cfrac { 1-\cos { \cfrac { \pi  }{ 5 }  }  }{ \sin { \cfrac { \pi  }{ 5 }  }  }  \right|  } $

$=\pi -\tan ^{ -1 }{ \left| \cfrac { 2\sin ^{ 2 }{ \cfrac { \pi  }{ 10 }  }  }{ 2\sin { \cfrac { \pi  }{ 10 }  } \cos { \cfrac { \pi  }{ 10 }  }  }  \right|  } =\pi -\tan ^{ -1 }{ \left| \cfrac { \sin { \cfrac { \pi  }{ 10 }  }  }{ \cos { \cfrac { \pi  }{ 10 }  }  }  \right|  } $

$=\pi -\tan ^{ -1 }{ \left| \tan { \cfrac { \pi  }{ 10 }  }  \right|  } \left( \because \tan ^{ -1 }{ \cfrac { \pi  }{ 10 }  } >1 \right) $

$=\pi -\cfrac { \pi  }{ 10 } \left( \because -\cfrac { \pi  }{ 2 } \le \tan ^{ -1 }{ x } \le \cfrac { \pi  }{ 2 }  \right) $
