If i 2 = - 1 , then for a complex number Z the minimum value of Z + Z - 3 + Z + i + Z - 3 - 2 i occurs at
Options
- AZ = 2
- BZ = 2 + i
- CZ = 1
- DZ = 1 + i
Correct answer
C. Z = 1
Step-by-step solution
The minimum value of Z + Z - 3 occurs at points on the line segment joining O and A Similarly, the minimum value of Z + i + Z - 3 - 2 i occurs at a point on the line segment joining B and C . ⇒ Minimum value of Z + Z - 3 + Z + i + Z - 3 - 2 i occurs at a point on the intersection of O A and B C Hence, the minimum value occurs at Z = 1
