If argument of $x$ + $\mathrm{iy}$ = $\frac{\pi }{6}$, then choose the relation between $x$ and $y$.
 a. $x$ = $\sqrt{3}$$y$ b. $x$ = - $\sqrt{3}$$y$ c. $y$ = - $\sqrt{3}$$x$ d. $y$ = $\sqrt{3}$$x$

#### Solution:

Let θ be the argument and r be the modulus of the complex number x + iy

So, r = x²+y², sin θ = yr and cos θ = xr

sin π / 6= yx²+y²
[Use θ = π / 6, r = x²+y².]

1 / 2 = yx²+y²
[Use sin π / 6= 1 / 2.]

x²+y² = 2y
[Simplify.]

x² + y² = 4y²
[Square on both the sides.]

x² = 3y²
[Subtract y² on both the sides.]

x = 3y
[Take square root on both the sides.]

Therefore, the relation between x and y is x = 3y

2.
If $z$ = $x$ + $i$$y$ and w = , |w| = 1, then where does $z$ lie in the complex plane?
 a. a line parallel to $x$-axis b. lies on the unit circle c. the imaginary axis d. the real axis

#### Solution:

|w| = 1

|1-izz-i| = 1
[Substitute the value of w.]

|1-i(x+iy)x+iy-i| = 1
[Substitute the value of z.]

|1-ix+yx+iy-i| = 1

|(1+y)-ixx+i(y-1)| = 1

(1+y)2+x²x²+(y-1)2 = 1
[Formula |x + iy| = x²+y².]

(1+y)2+x² =(y-1)2+x² = 1

(1+y)2 + x2 = x2 + (y-1)2
[Square on both the sides.]

(1+y)2 + x2 - x2 + (y-1)2 = 0
[Use (a + b)² = a² + b² + 2ab and (a - b)² = a² + b² - 2ab.]

1 + y² + 2y + x² -x² - y² - 1 + 2y = 0
[Simplify.]

4y = 0 y = 0
[Solve for y.]

As y = 0, z lies on the real axis.
