For two non-zero complex number z1 and z2, if Rez1z2=0 and Rez1+z2=0, then which of the following are possible?

(A) Imz1>0 and Imz2>0
(B) Imz1<0 and Imz2>0
(C) Imz1>0 and Imz2<0
(D) Imz1<0 and Imz2<0

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. B and D
  2. B and C
  3. A and B
  4. A and C

Solution

Let,

z1=x1+iy1 and z2=x2+iy2

Rez1z2=0

x1x2-y1y2=0......i

Rez1+z2=0

x1+x2=0......ii

From equations i and ii we get

x12+y1y2=0

y1y2=-x12

Therefore Im(z1) and Im(z2) are of opposite sign
