Let S be the set of all , for which the complex number is purely imaginary and is purely real. Let .
Then is equal to :
Then is equal to :
- (A)3
- (B)3 i
- (C)1✓ Correct
- (D)
Answer: (C)
Solution
For to be purely imaginary, the real part must be zero. Rationalizing: . Real part = 0 gives , so in .
For to be purely real, the imaginary part must be zero. This gives , so .
For : .
For : .
The sum evaluates to .
