If Z is a complex number such that Z=- Z , then
Options
- AZ is purely real.
- BZ is purely imaginary.
- CZ is any complex number.
- DReal part of Z is the same as its imaginary part.
Correct answer
B. Z is purely imaginary.
Step-by-step solution
Let Z=x+i y Then, Z =x-i y Now, it is given that aligned & Z &=- Z & x+i y &=-(x-i y) & x+i y &=-x+i y & & 2 x &=0 & x &=0 aligned Z is purely imaginary.
