4-1.Complex numbers
hard

Let $Z$ and $W$ be complex numbers such that $\left| Z \right| = \left| W \right|,$ and arg $Z$ denotes the principal argument of $Z.$

Statement $1:$ If arg $Z+$ arg $W = \pi ,$ then $Z = -\overline W $.

Statement $2:$ $\left| Z \right| = \left| W \right|,$ implies arg $Z-$ arg $\overline W = \pi .$

A

Statement $1$ is true, Statement $2$ is false.

B

Statement $1$ is true, Statement $2$ is true, Statement $2$ is a correct explanation for Statement $1$

C

Statement $1$ is true, Statement $2$ is true, Statement $2$ is not a correct explanation for Statement $1.$

D

Statement $1$ is false, Statement $2$ is true

(AIEEE-2012)

Solution

Let $|Z|=|W|=r$

$\Rightarrow Z=r e^{i \theta}, W=r e^{i \phi}$

where $\theta+\phi=\pi$

$\therefore \bar{W}=r e^{-i \phi}$

$\mathrm{Now}, Z=r e^{i(\pi-\phi)}=r e^{i \pi} \times e^{-i \phi}=-r e^{-i \phi}$

$=-\vec{W}$

Thus, statement $-\,1$ is true but statement $-\,2$ is false
