    If \[\theta \] is real and \[{{z}_{1}},\,\,{{z}_{2}}\] are connected by \[z_{1}^{2}+z_{2}^{2}+2{{z}_{1}}{{z}_{2}}\cos \theta =0\], then triangle with vertices \[0,\,\,{{z}_{1}}\] and \[{{z}_{2}}\] is

    A)  equilateral                        

    B)  right angled

    C)  isosceles            

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[z_{1}^{2}+z_{2}^{2}+2{{z}_{1}}{{z}_{2}}\cos \theta +1=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{\left( \frac{{{z}_{1}}}{{{z}_{2}}} \right)}^{2}}+2\left( \frac{{{z}_{1}}}{{{z}_{2}}} \right)\cos \theta +1=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{\left( \frac{{{z}_{1}}}{{{z}_{2}}}+\cos \theta  \right)}^{2}}=-(1-{{\cos }^{2}}\theta )=-{{\sin }^{2}}\theta \] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{{{z}_{1}}}{{{z}_{2}}}=-\cos \theta \pm i\sin \theta \] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\left| \frac{{{z}_{1}}}{{{z}_{2}}} \right|=\sqrt{{{(-\cos \theta )}^{2}}+{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }=1\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[|{{z}_{1}}|\,\,=\,\,|{{z}_{2}}|\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[|{{z}_{1}}-0|\,\,=\,\,|{{z}_{2}}-0|\] Thus, triangle with vertices\[{{z}_{1}},\,\,{{z}_{2}}\]is isosceles.
