If z 1 + z 2 2 = z 1 2 + z 2 2 , where z 1 and z 2 are two complex numbers, then

If z1+z22=z12+z22, where z1 and z2 are two complex numbers, then
  1. z1z2 is purely real
  2. z1z2 is purely imaginary
  3. argz1z2=π4
  4. z1z2=1

Solution

Given that: z1+z22=z12+z22, where z1 and z2 are two complex numbers

z1+z22=z12+z22+2z1z2cos(x-y), where x & y are arguments of z1 & z2.

Here, 2z1z2cos(x-y)=0

cos(x-y)=0 

x-y=(2n-1)π2 where nI

Now, arg(z1z2)=arg(z1)-arg(z2)=x-y=(2n-1)π2 where nI

z1z2 is a purely imaginary.
