The modulus and amplitude of the complex number are respectively (1) (2) (3) (4)
- A.
(1)
- B.
(2)
- C.
(3)
- D.
(4)
Correct Answer
D. (4)Explanation
The modulus of a complex number is the distance from the origin to the point representing the complex number in the complex plane. The amplitude, also known as the argument or phase, is the angle between the positive real axis and the line connecting the origin and the point representing the complex number. Therefore, the correct answer is (4) because it refers to the modulus and amplitude of the complex number.Rate this question:

If is the complex conjugate of then are (1) (2) (3) (4)
- A.
(1)
- B.
(2)
- C.
(3)
- D.
(4)
Correct Answer
A. (1)Explanation
If z is the complex conjugate of w, it means that the real part of z is the same as the real part of w, but the imaginary part of z is the negative of the imaginary part of w. Therefore, if z = a + bi and w = c + di, where a, b, c, and d are real numbers, then z = a - bi. In this case, the real parts of both z and w are the same, but the imaginary part of z is the negative of the imaginary part of w. Therefore, the correct answer is (1).Rate this question:

- A.
(1)
- B.
(2)
- C.

- D.
(4)
Correct Answer
C. (3)Explanation
The modulus of a complex number is the distance between the origin and the point representing the complex number in the complex plane. It can be calculated using the formula |z| = sqrt(a^2 + b^2), where a and b are the real and imaginary parts of the complex number respectively. Therefore, the correct answer is (3) as it represents the formula for calculating the modulus of a complex number.Rate this question:

If the amplitude of a complex number is then the number is (1) purely imaginary (2) purely real (3) 0 (4) neither real nor imaginary
- A.
(1)
- B.
(2)
- C.
(3)
- D.
(4)
Correct Answer
A. (1)Explanation
If the amplitude of a complex number is 0, it means that the number has no magnitude or length. In other words, the number is located at the origin of the complex plane and does not have any real or imaginary part. Therefore, the number is purely imaginary.Rate this question:

If the point represented by the complex number is rotated about the origin through the angle in the counter clockwise direction then the complex number representing the new position is (1) (2) (3) (4)
- A.
(1)
- B.
(2)
- C.
(3)
- D.
(4)
Correct Answer
C. (3)Explanation
When a point represented by a complex number is rotated about the origin through an angle in the counter clockwise direction, the complex number representing the new position can be found by multiplying the original complex number by the complex number representing the rotation. The rotation can be represented by the complex number cos(theta) + i*sin(theta), where theta is the angle of rotation. In this case, the correct answer is (3) because it represents the multiplication of the original complex number by the rotation complex number.Rate this question:

- A.
(1)
- B.
(2)
- C.
(3)
- D.
(4)
Correct Answer
D. (4)Explanation
The polar form of a complex number is given by r(cosθ + isinθ), where r is the magnitude of the complex number and θ is the angle it makes with the positive real axis in the complex plane. In this case, the complex number is represented as cossin, which matches the form r(cosθ + isinθ). Therefore, the correct answer is (4).Rate this question:

If lies in the third quadrant then lies in the (1) first quadrant (2) second quadrant (3) third quadrant (4) fourth quadrant
- A.
(1)
- B.
(2)
- C.
(3)
- D.
(4)
Correct Answer
D. (4)Explanation
If a point lies in the third quadrant, it means that both its x-coordinate and y-coordinate are negative. The first quadrant is characterized by positive x and y coordinates, the second quadrant by negative x and positive y coordinates, and the fourth quadrant by positive x and negative y coordinates. Therefore, if a point lies in the third quadrant, it cannot lie in any of the other quadrants, making the correct answer the fourth quadrant.Rate this question:

C. (3)Explanation
If α is one root of the equation, then the other root can be found using the fact that for a quadratic equation ax^2 + bx + c = 0, the sum of the roots is -b/a and the product of the roots is c/a. Since α is one root, the sum of the roots is -b/a = α + β = -b/a. Solving for β, we get β = -b/a - α. Therefore, the other root is (3).Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. (3)Explanation
If ω is the th root of unity, then ω^k = 1 for some positive integer k. Therefore, ω^k - 1 = 0. This can be factored as (ω - 1)(ω^(k-1) + ω^(k-2) + ... + ω + 1) = 0. Since ω is a complex number, ω - 1 can only be equal to 0 if ω = 1. Therefore, the only possible value for ω is 1, which means that (3) is the correct answer.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. (1)Explanation
If ω is the cube root of unity, it means that ω^3 = 1. We can find the value of ω by taking the cube root of 1, which gives us ω = 1. Since ω = 1, substituting this value into the expression ω^2 gives us 1^2 = 1. Therefore, the value of ω^2 is 1. The correct answer is (1) 9.Rate this question:

- A.
Vertices of a right angled triangle
- B.
Vertices of an equilateral triangle
- C.
Vertices of an isosceles triangle
- D.
Collinear
Correct Answer
D. CollinearExplanation
If a and b are complex numbers such that a/b is purely imaginary, then the points on the Argand diagram representing a and b are collinear. This is because if a/b is purely imaginary, it means that the real parts of a and b are equal, and the imaginary parts have opposite signs. Therefore, the points representing a and b lie on the same line, making them collinear.Rate this question:
