If a complex number z is such that ( 7 + i ) ( z + z ¯ ) - ( 4 + i ) ( z - z ¯ ) + 116 i = 0 ,…

If a complex number z is such that (7+i)(z+z¯)-(4+i)(z-z¯)+116i=0, then zz¯=
  1. 400
  2. 300
  3. 200
  4. 100

Solution

Consider a complex equation, z=x+i y

Its conjugate is z¯=x-iy

Now,(7+i)(z+z¯)-(4+i)(z-z¯)+116i=0

(7+i)(2x)-(8iy-2y)+116i=0

(14x+2y)+i(2x-8y+116)=0

The equations obtained are

2x-8y+116=0

14x+2y=0

From the above two equations,

x=-2, y=14

The modulus is

|z|=x2+y2

=(-2)2+142

=200

Thus, zz¯=|z|2=(200)2=200
