If \((x-i y)(3+5 i)\) is the conjugate of \(-6-24 i\) (where \(x, y \in R\) and \(i=\sqrt{-1})\), then the value of \(x\) and \(y\) are respectively

  1. A 5,3
  2. B \(5,-3\)
  3. C \(-3,3\)
  4. D \(3,-3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(3,-3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & (x-i y)(3+5 i)=-6+24 i \\ & \Rightarrow(3 x+5 y)+(5 x+3 y) i=-6+24 i \\ & \Rightarrow 3 x+5 y=-6 \text { and } 5 x-3 y=24\end{aligned}\)
Solving we get \(x=3\) and \(y=-3\)
