JEE MAIN - Mathematics (2020 - 6th September Evening Slot - No. 4)

Let z = x + iy be a non-zero complex number such that $${z^2} = i{\left| z \right|^2}$$, where i = $$\sqrt { - 1} $$ , then z lies on the :
line, y = –x
real axis
line, y = x
imaginary axis

Explanation

Given z = x + iy

and $${z^2} = i{\left| z \right|^2}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ (x + iy)2 = i(x2 + y2)

$$ \Rightarrow $$ x2 - y2 + 2ixy = i(x2 + y2) + 0

Comparing both side we get,

x2 - y2 = 0

$$ \Rightarrow $$ x2 = y2

and 2xy = (x2 + y2)

$$ \Rightarrow $$ (x - y)2 = 0

$$ \Rightarrow $$ x = y

$$ \therefore $$ z lies on line x = y
