Let \(z=x+ iy\) be a non-zero complex number such that \(z^{2}=i|z|^{2},\) where \(i=\sqrt{-1},\) then \(z\) lies on the 

  1. A imaginary axis
  2. B real axis
  3. C line, \(y=x\)
  4. D line, \(y=-x\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) line, \(y=x\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(z=x+i y\) \(z ^{2}= i | z |^{2}\) \((x+i y)^{2}=i\left(x^{2}+y^{2}\right)\) \(\left(x^{2}-y^{2}\right)-i\left(x^{2}+y^{2}-2 x y\right)=0\) \((x-y)(x+y)-i(x-y)^{2}=0\) \((x-y)((x+y)-i(x-y))=0\) \(\Rightarrow x = y\) z lies on \(y=x\)
