If $0 < \alpha
- clockwise rotation around origin through an angle $\alpha$
- anti-clockwise rotation around origin through an angle $\alpha$
- reflection in the line through origin with slope tan $\alpha$
- reflection in the line through origin with slope tan $\frac{\alpha}{2}$
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
represented by e$^i{(\alpha-\theta)}$
Now, rotation about a line with angle a is given by
$\, e^\theta \rightarrow e^{(\alpha-\theta)}$ Therefore, Q is obtained from P by reflection
in the line making an angle $\alpha / 2$

Questions Asked in JEE Advanced exam
The center of a disk of radius $ r $ and mass $ m $ is attached to a spring of spring constant $ k $, inside a ring of radius $ R>r $ as shown in the figure. The other end of the spring is attached on the periphery of the ring. Both the ring and the disk are in the same vertical plane. The disk can only roll along the inside periphery of the ring, without slipping. The spring can only be stretched or compressed along the periphery of the ring, following Hooke’s law. In equilibrium, the disk is at the bottom of the ring. Assuming small displacement of the disc, the time period of oscillation of center of mass of the disk is written as $ T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega} $. The correct expression for $ \omega $ is ( $ g $ is the acceleration due to gravity):

Argand Plane
It is a set of 3 mutually perpendicular axes and a convenient way to represent a set of numbers (2 or 3) or a point in space.
Hence, we have a way to represent an imaginary number graphically. All we need to do is to find the real part and an imaginary part of it. Then, represent them on the two mutually perpendicular number lines. The point of intersection, as shown in the above diagram, is the origin of our Plane.
The formation of the Plane so formed is known as the Argand Plane and it is a convenient way to represent an imaginary number graphically.
