(d) 2π3

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 5. (d)

Solution:

  1. Let z=3+2isinθ12isinθ×1+2isinθ1+2isinθ

 (rationalising the denominator) =34sin2θ+8isinθ1+4sin2θ[a2b2=(a+b)(ab) and i2=1]=34sin2θ1+4sin2θ+8sinθ1+4sin2θi

As z is purely imaginary, so real part of z=0

34sin2θ1+4sin2θ=034sin2θ=0

sin2θ=34sinθ=±32

θπ3,π3,2π3

Sum of values of θ=2π3.
