JEE MAIN - Mathematics (2023 - 11th April Morning Shift - No. 4)

Let $$w_{1}$$ be the point obtained by the rotation of $$z_{1}=5+4 i$$ about the origin through a right angle in the anticlockwise direction, and $$w_{2}$$ be the point obtained by the rotation of $$z_{2}=3+5 i$$ about the origin through a right angle in the clockwise direction. Then the principal argument of $$w_{1}-w_{2}$$ is equal to :
$$-\pi+\tan ^{-1} \frac{8}{9}$$
$$-\pi+\tan ^{-1} \frac{33}{5}$$
$$\pi-\tan ^{-1} \frac{8}{9}$$
$$\pi-\tan ^{-1} \frac{33}{5}$$

Explanation

To solve the problem, let's break it down step by step.

Step 1 : Find $w_{1}$

Given $z_{1} = 5 + 4i$.

When you rotate $z_{1}$ by $90^{\circ}$ anticlockwise about the origin, the real part becomes negative of the imaginary part of $z_{1}$, and the imaginary part becomes the real part of $z_{1}$.

Therefore, $w_{1}$ becomes :

$w_{1} = -4 + 5i$

Step 2 : Find $w_{2}$

Given $z_{2} = 3 + 5i$.

When you rotate $z_{2}$ by $90^{\circ}$ clockwise about the origin, the real part becomes the imaginary part of $z_{2}$, and the imaginary part becomes negative of the real part of $z_{2}$.

Therefore, $w_{2}$ becomes :

$w_{2} = 5 - 3i$

Step 3 : Calculate $w_{1} - w_{2}$

$w_{1} - w_{2} = (-4 + 5i) - (5 - 3i)$

$w_{1} - w_{2} = -9 + 8i$

Step 4 : Find the principal argument

To find the principal argument, we need to compute the tangent inverse of the ratio of the imaginary part to the real part.

Argument = $\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{\text{Imaginary part}}{\text{Real part}}\right)$

Argument = $\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{8}{-9}\right)$

Argument = $-\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{8}{9}\right)$

Since it's in the third quadrant, the principal argument is :

Argument = $\pi + (-\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{8}{9}\right))$

Argument = $\pi - \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{8}{9}\right)$

So, the correct option is :

Option C : $\pi-\tan^{-1} \frac{8}{9}$
