The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Given, $ \sqrt{x+iy}=\pm (a+bi) $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ x+iy={{a}^{2}}-{{b}^{2}}+2iab $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ x={{a}^{2}}-{{b}^{2}},y=2ab $
$ \therefore \,\,\,\,\sqrt{-x-iy}=\,\sqrt{-({{a}^{2}}-{{b}^{2}})-2\,iab} $
$=\sqrt{{{b}^{2}}-{{a}^{2}}-2iab}\,=\sqrt{{{(b-ia)}^{2}}} $
$=\pm \,(b-ia) $

Complex Number

A Complex Number is written in the form

a + ib

where,

  • “a” is a real number
  • “b” is an imaginary number

The Complex Number consists of a symbol “i” which satisfies the condition i^2 = −1. Complex Numbers are mentioned as the extension of one-dimensional number lines. In a complex plane, a Complex Number indicated as a + bi is usually represented in the form of the point (a, b). We have to pay attention that a Complex Number with absolutely no real part, such as – i, -5i, etc, is called purely imaginary. Also, a Complex Number with perfectly no imaginary part is known as a real number.
