    The complex numbers \[\sin x+i\cos 2x\] and \[\cos x-i\sin 2x\] are conjugate to each other for [IIT 1988]

    A) \[x=n\pi \]

    B) \[x=\left( n+\frac{1}{2} \right)\pi \]

    C) \[x=0\]

    D) No value of x

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[\sin x+i\cos 2x\]and \[\cos x-i\sin 2x\]are conjugate to each other if \[=\frac{|{{z}_{1}}-{{z}_{2}}|}{|\overline{{{z}_{1}}-{{z}_{2}}}|}=\frac{|{{z}_{1}}-{{z}_{2}}|}{|{{z}_{1}}-{{z}_{2}}|}=1\] and \[\cos 2x=\sin 2x\] or   \[\tan x=1\]Þ \[x=\frac{\pi }{4},\frac{5\pi }{4},\frac{9\pi }{4},......\]           ??(i) and  \[\tan 2x=1\]Þ \[2x=\frac{\pi }{4},\frac{5\pi }{4},\frac{9\pi }{4},........\]       or  \[x=\frac{\pi }{8},\frac{5\pi }{8},\frac{9\pi }{8}\].......                   ?..(ii) There exists no value of \[x\]common in (i) and (ii). Therefore there is no value of \[x\] for which the given complex numbers are conjugate.
