Q1
Easy
What is the sum of the complex numbers 3 + 4i and 1 - 2i?
A. 4 + 2i
B. 3 + 2i
C. 2 + 6i
D. 5 + 6i
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: A
To find the sum of two complex numbers, we add their real parts and imaginary parts separately. Here, (3 + 1) + (4 - 2)i = 4 + 2i.
Q2
Easy
If z = 5 + 3i, what is the conjugate of z?
A. 5 - 3i
B. -5 + 3i
C. -5 - 3i
D. 5 + 3i
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: A
The conjugate of a complex number a + bi is defined as a - bi. Thus, the conjugate of 5 + 3i is 5 - 3i.
Q3
Easy
Which of the following represents a purely imaginary number?
A. 3 + 0i
B. 0 + 5i
C. 2
D. 1 + 1i
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B
A purely imaginary number has no real part and is of the form 0 + bi. Among the options, 0 + 5i is purely imaginary.
Q4
Medium
If z = 3 + 4i, find the modulus of z.
A. 5
B. 7
C. 12
D. 10
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: A
The modulus of a complex number z = a + bi is given by √(a² + b²). Here, √(3² + 4²) = √(9 + 16) = √25 = 5.
Q5
Medium
For z = -2 + 5i, find the conjugate of z.
A. -2 - 5i
B. 2 - 5i
C. -2 + 5i
D. 2 + 5i
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: A
The conjugate of a complex number z = a + bi is given by a - bi. Therefore, the conjugate is -2 - 5i.
Q6
Medium
If z = 3 + 4i, find the real part of z.
A. 3
B. 4
C. 7
D. 1
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: A
The real part of a complex number z = a + bi is simply a. Here, the real part is 3.
Q7
Medium
What is the real part of the complex number z = 4 - 7i?
A. 4
B. -7
C. 1
D. -4
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: A
The real part of a complex number z = a + bi is a. Here, the real part is 4.
Q8
Hard
If z = x + yi, where x and y are real numbers, what is the condition that z must satisfy to have an argument of 45 degrees?
A. x = y
B. x = -y
C. x > y
D. x < y
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: A
The argument of a complex number z = x + yi is given by tan^-1(y/x). For an argument of 45 degrees, y/x = 1, which means x = y.
Q9
Hard
If z = re^(iθ), and r = 2, what is the value of z^4?
A. 16e^(i4θ)
B. 8e^(i2θ)
C. 4e^(i2θ)
D. 2e^(i4θ)
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: A
Using the property of exponents for complex numbers, (re^(iθ))^4 = r^4 e^(i4θ) = 2^4 e^(i4θ) = 16e^(i4θ).
Q10
Hard
The equation z^4 + 1 = 0 has how many distinct complex roots?
A. 2
B. 4
C. 8
D. 6
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B
The equation z^4 + 1 = 0 can be rewritten as z^4 = -1. The distinct roots are given by z = e^(i(π/4 + kπ/2)) for k = 0, 1, 2, 3, thus yielding 4 distinct roots.
