JEE Main & Advanced Mathematics Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations Question Bank Conjugate, Modulus and Argument of complex number

  • question_answer
    If \[\bar{z}\] be the conjugate of the complex number \[z\], then  which of the following relations is false [MP PET 1987]

    A) \[|z|\,=\,|\bar{z}|\]

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

    C) \[\overline{{{z}_{1}}+{{z}_{2}}}=\overline{{{z}_{1}}}+\overline{{{z}_{2}}}\]

    D) \[arg\,z=arg\,\bar{z}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Let  \[z=x+iy,\overline{z}=x-iy\] Since  \[arg(z)=\theta ={{\tan }^{-1}}\frac{y}{x}\] \[arg(\overline{z})=\theta ={{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{-y}{x} \right)\] Thus \[arg(z)\ne arg(\overline{z})\].
