Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\pm 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\because-3+\mathrm{ix}^2 \mathrm{y}\) and \(\left(\mathrm{x}^2+\mathrm{y}+4 \mathrm{i}\right)\) are complex conjugate. Then, \(-3-i x^2 y=x^2+y+4 i\) Comparing both sides we get:- \[ \begin{aligned} & x^2+y=-3 ......(i)\\ & -x^2 y=4.......(ii) \end{aligned} \] Solving eqs. (i)…
