    If \[z\] is a complex number, then which of the following is not true [MP PET 1987]

    A) \[|{{z}^{2}}|\,=\,|z{{|}^{2}}\]

    B) \[|{{z}^{2}}|\,=\,|\bar{z}{{|}^{2}}\]

    C) \[z=\bar{z}\]

    D) \[{{\bar{z}}^{2}}={{\bar{z}}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    L.H.S.= \[|{{z}^{2}}|\,=\,|{{(x+iy)}^{2}}|\] \[=\,\,|{{x}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}}+2ixy|=\sqrt{{{({{x}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}})}^{2}}+{{(2xy)}^{2}}}\] \[=\sqrt{{{\left( {{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}} \right)}^{2}}}\] ?..(i) R.H.S. \[=|z{{|}^{2}}=|x+iy{{|}^{2}}=\sqrt{{{({{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}})}^{2}}}\] \[={{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}\]      ??(ii) Therefore \[|{{z}^{2}}|=|z{{|}^{2}}\] (b) True (c) False (since\[z\ne \overline{z}\] ).
