JEE Main 2024 — 31 January, Shift 2 — Question 3

Let z1z_{1} and z2z_{2} be two complex number such that z1z_{1} +z2=5+z_{2}=5 and z13+z23=20+15iz_{1}^{3}+z_{2}^{3}=20+15 i. Then ∣z14+z24∣\left|z_{1}^{4}+z_{2}^{4}\right| equals-

  1. Option A:

    30330 \sqrt{3}

  2. Option B:

    7575

    Correct
  3. Option C:

    151515 \sqrt{15}

  4. Option D:

    25325 \sqrt{3}

Answer: B

Step-by-step solution

z1+z2=5\mathrm{z}_{1}+\mathrm{z}_{2}=5

z13+z23=20+15iz_{1}^{3}+z_{2}^{3}=20+15 i

z13+z23=(z1+z2)3−3z1z2(z1+z2)\mathrm{z}_{1}^{3}+\mathrm{z}_{2}^{3}=\left(\mathrm{z}_{1}+\mathrm{z}_{2}\right)^{3}-3 \mathrm{z}_{1} \mathrm{z}_{2}\left(\mathrm{z}_{1}+\mathrm{z}_{2}\right)

z13+z23=125−3z1⋅z2(5)\mathrm{z}_{1}^{3}+\mathrm{z}_{2}^{3}=125-3 \mathrm{z}_{1} \cdot \mathrm{z}_{2}(5)

⇒20+15i=125−15z1z2\Rightarrow 20+15 \mathrm{i}=125-15 \mathrm{z}_{1} \mathrm{z}_{2}

⇒3z1z2=25−4−3i\Rightarrow 3 \mathrm{z}_{1} \mathrm{z}_{2}=25-4-3 \mathrm{i}

⇒3z1z2=21−3i\Rightarrow 3 \mathrm{z}_{1} \mathrm{z}_{2}=21-3 \mathrm{i}

⇒z1⋅z2=7−i\Rightarrow \mathrm{z}_{1} \cdot \mathrm{z}_{2}=7-\mathrm{i}

⇒(z1+z2)2=25\Rightarrow\left(\mathrm{z}_{1}+\mathrm{z}_{2}\right)^{2}=25

⇒z12+z22=25−2(7−i)\Rightarrow \mathrm{z}_{1}^{2}+\mathrm{z}_{2}^{2}=25-2(7-\mathrm{i})

⇒11+2i\Rightarrow 11+2 \mathrm{i}

(z12+z22)2=121−4+44i\left(\mathrm{z}_{1}^{2}+\mathrm{z}_{2}^{2}\right)^{2}=121-4+44 \mathrm{i}

⇒z14+z24+2(7−i)2=117+44i\Rightarrow \mathrm{z}_{1}^{4}+\mathrm{z}_{2}^{4}+2(7-\mathrm{i})^{2}=117+44 \mathrm{i}

⇒z14+z24=117+44i−2(49−1−14i)\Rightarrow \mathrm{z}_{1}^{4}+\mathrm{z}_{2}^{4}=117+44 \mathrm{i}-2(49-1-14 \mathrm{i})

⇒∣z14+z24∣=75\Rightarrow\left|z_{1}^{4}+z_{2}^{4}\right|=75
