n
⇒ i = 1

Hence, n is an integer multiple of 4.

So, the smallest positive integer value of n is 4.
2. (1)
We have, z =
3+2i cos θ π
, θ ∈(0, )
1−3i cos θ 2

3+2i cos θ 1+3i cos θ

⇒ z = ×
1−3i cos θ 1+3i cos θ

( 3+2i cos θ ) ( 1+3i cos θ )

⇒ z =
2
1+9 cos θ
2
( 3−6 cos θ+8i cos θ )

⇒ z =
2
1+9 cos θ
2

Now, Re(z) =
3−6 cos θ
= 0
2
1+9 cos θ

2
⇒ 3 − 6 cos θ = 0

π

Hence, sin 2

3. (3) Let z = x + iy

z−25
∣ ∣
∴ = 5
∣ z−1
∣

( x−25 ) +iy
∣ ∣
⇒ = 5
∣ ( x−1 ) +iy ∣

⇒ |(x − 25)+iy|= 5|(x − 1)+iy|

2 2
⇒ √(x − 25) + y
2
= 5√(x − 1) + y
2

On squaring both sides, we get

2 2 2 2
(x − 25) + y = 25{(x − 1) + y }

2 2 2 2
⇒ x − 50x + 625 + y = 25x − 50x + 25 + 25y

2 2
⇒ 24x + 24y = 600

2 2
⇒ x + y = 25

⇒ √x 2 + y 2 = 5 [∵|z|= √(x
2
+ y )]
2

⇒ |z|= 5

If a complex number if purely imaginary, then it must be equal to minus times its conjugate.
z−α z̄ −α

2 2
⇒ zz̄ + αz − αz̄ − α = −(zz̄ − αz + αz̄ − α )

⇒ α = 4

⇒ α = ±2

5. (2) √x 2 + y 2 − x ≤ 1

8. (1)
Given that |z 1 |=|z2 |+|z1 − z2 |, |z1 |>|z2 |

∴ |z1 − z2 |=|z1 |−|z2 |

=||z1 |−|z2 ||

Now, argz1 = argz2

z = (x + iy) = x − y + i2xy (i)

z̄ = x − iy . . .(ii)

From (i) and (ii)

on equating imaginary parts
⇒ 2xy = −y

⇒ y(2x + 1)= 0

⇒ y = 0 or x = −
1

on equating real parts

2 2
⇒ x − y = x

Case 1: when y = 0
2
⇒ x − x = 0

⇒ x(x − 1)= 0

⇒ x = 0 or x = 1
Case 2: when x = − 1

10. (3) x + i(y + 1)+√2 |x + iy + 1|= 0

y + 1 = 0 ⇒ y = − 1 ∵ |x + i y + 1| is real

so x + √2 |x − i + 1|= 0

2
(x + 2) = 0 ⇒ x = − 2
