Chapter 4 Complex Numbers PQ ANSWERS
SECTION – A
Questions 1 to 10 carry 1 mark each.
1. For the quadratic equation x2 – 5ix – 6 = 0, the value of x is
(a) 3, 2 (b) –3i, –2i (c) 3i, 2i (d) none of these
Ans: (c) 3i, 2i
x2 – 5ix – 6 = 0
⇒ x2 – 3ix – 2ix – 6 = 0
⇒ x(x – 3i) – 2i(x – 3i) = 0
⇒ (x – 3i) (x – 2i) = 0
⇒ x – 3i = 0 or x – 2i = 0
⇒ x = 3i or x = 2i
3. If a + ib = c + id, then
(a) a2 + c2 = 0 (b) b2 + c2 = 0 (c) b2 + d2 = 0 (d) a2 + b2 = c2 + d2
Ans: (d) a2 + b2 = c2 + d2
a + ib = c + id
⇒ | a + ib | = | c + id |
⇒ a 2 b2 c 2 d 2
On squaring both sides, we get a2 + b2 = c2 + d2
5. If z1 = a + ib and z2 = c + id are two complex numbers. Then the product z1z2 is defined as
(a) ac + bd (b) ac + i(bd) (c) (ac – bd) + i(ad + bc) (d) none of these
1 i
7. Find the modulus of .
1 i
(a) 1 (b) 4 (c) 2 (d) 3
Ans: (a) 1
For Q9 and Q10, a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of reason (R). Choose the

SECTION – D
Questions 18 carry 5 marks.
(1 i )2
18. (a) If = x + iy, then find the value of x + y.
2i
3 3
1 i 1 i
(b) Consider, = x + iy
1 i 1 i
3 3
(1 i )2 (1 i )2
⇒ = x + iy
2 2
⇒ (i)3 – (– i)3 = x + iy
⇒ – i – i = x + iy
⇒ 0 – 2i = x + iy, x = 0, y = – 2; (0, – 2)
19. Complex numbers are the numbers that are expressed in the form of a+ib where, a, b are real numbers
and ‘i’ is an imaginary number called “iota”. The value of i = (√-1). For example, 2 + 3i is a complex
number, where 2 is a real number (Re) and 3i is an imaginary number (Im).
An imaginary number is usually represented by ‘i’ or ‘j’, which is equal to √-1. Therefore, the square
of the imaginary number gives a negative value. Since, i = √-1, so, i2 = -1
The complex number is basically the combination of a real number and an imaginary number. The
complex number is in the form of a + ib, where a = real number and ib = imaginary number. Also, a,b
belongs to real numbers and i = √-1.
Hence, a complex number is a simple representation of addition of two numbers, i.e., real number and
an imaginary number. One part of it is purely real and the other part is purely imaginary.
20. A conjugate of a complex number is another complex number that has the same real part as the
original complex number, and the imaginary part has the same magnitude but opposite sign. If we
multiply a complex number with its conjugate, we get a real number.
A complex number z is purely real if and only if z = z and is purely imaginary if and only if z = -z.
Based on the above information, answer the following questions.
(a) Find the conjugate of the following : (2 + i)2 (1)
(b) Find the multiplicative inverse of (4 – 3i). (1)
(c) Express (3 + 4i) (6 – 3i) (5 + i) in the form (a + ib). (2)
Ans: (a)
1
(b) Multiplicative inverse of (4 – 3i) =
4 3i
4 3i 4 3i 4 3
i
16 9 25 25 25
(c) (3 + 4i)(6 – 3i)(5 + i)
= (3 + 4i) (30 + 6i – 15i – 3i2)
= (3 + 4i)(33 – 9i) = 99 – 27i + 132i – 36i2
= 135 + 105i
