41. Ans. (b), Let z1 , z2 , z3 be three complex numbers in A.P.
Then, 2 z2 = z1 + z3 . Thus the complex number z2 is the mid-point of the line joining the points z1 and
z3 . So the three points z1 , z2 and z3 are in a straight line.

43. Ans. (a), We have z − z1 = z − z2 = z − z3 = z − z4 .
Therefore the point having affix z is equidistant from the four points having affixes z1 , z2 , z3 , z4 .
Thus z is the affix of either the center of a circle or the point of intersection of diagonals of a square
or rectangle. Therefore z1 , z2 , z3 , z4 are either concyclic or vertices of a square. Hence z1 , z2 , z3 , z4
are concyclic.
44. Ans. (b), Let z = x + iy , therefore given equation becomes
( x + iy )( x − iy ) + ( 2 − 3i )( x + iy ) + ( 2 + 3i )( x − iy ) + 4 = 0
⇒ x 2 + y 2 + 2 x + 3 y − 3ix + 2iy + 2 x − 2iy + 3ix + 3 y + 4 = 0 ⇒ x2 + y2 + 4x + 6 y + 4 = 0 .

Therefore given equation represents a circle with radius. Radius = 22 + 32 − 4 = 4 + 9 − 4 = 9 = 3 .

Then the mid point of P1 P2 and OP3 are the same. But midpoint of P1 P2 is  1 2 , 1 .

So that the coordinates of P3 are ( x1 + x2 , y1 + y2 ) .

⇒ ( z − z0 )( z − z0 ) = r 2 ⇒ ( z − z0 )( z − z0 ) = r 2 ⇒ zz − zz0 − zz0 + z0 z0 = r 2 .

Comparing real and imaginary parts we get,

a 2 − b 2 = a − b and 2 ( a + b ) = ab + 1 ⇒ ( a − b )( a + b − 1) = 0 and 2 ( a + b ) = ab + 1

211. Ans (c) We know that principal arguments of a complex numbers lie between −π and π , but
a + β > π . ⇒ π < α + β < 2π ⇒ − π < α + β − 2π < 0
Therefore , principal of arg ( z1 z2 ) = arg ( z1 ) + arg ( z2 ) = α + β is given by α + β − 2π .
212. Ans. (a), (c), Take z1 = 1 and z2 = −1
∴ z1 z2 = −1 ∴ z1 = cis 0; z2 = cis π , z1 z2 = cis π
∴ arg z1 = 0, arg z2 = π , arg ( z1 z2 ) = π and z1 = 1 and z2 = 1 and z1 z2 = 1 .
∴ Choice (a) is correct as z1 z2 = 1 = z1 z2
Choice (b) in incorrect as z1 + z2 = 1 − 1 = 0
and z1 + z2 = 1 + − 1 = 2 ⇒ z1 + z2 ≠ z1 + z2 .
∴ z1 − z2 = 2 > z1 − z2 = 1 − 1 = 0
∴ Choice (c) is correct and arg ( z1 z2 ) = π ≠ ( arg z1 )( arg z2 ) = 0.π = 0 . ∴ Choice (d) is not correct.
