Answer:

Correct Answer: 1. (a)

Solution:

  1. It is given that, there are two complex numbers z and w, such that |zw|=1 and arg(z)arg(w)=π/2 |z||w|=1 [|z1z2|=|z1||z2|] and arg(z)=π2+arg(w)

Let |z|=r, then |w|=1r

and let arg(w)=θ, then arg(z)=π2+θ

So, we can assume

z=rei(π/2+θ)

[ if z=x+iy is a complex number, then it can be written as z=reiθ where, r=|z|andθ=arg(z)]

 and w=1reiθ

Now, z¯w=rei(π/2+θ)1reiθ

=ei(π/2θ+θ)=ei(π/2)=i[eiθ=cosθisinθ]

and

zw¯=rei(π/2+θ)1reiθ=ei(π/2+θθ)=ei(π/2)=i
