Question:

If $z_{1}$, $z_{2}$, $z_{3}$ are any three complex numbers such that $\left|z_{1}\right|=\left|z_{2}\right|=\left|z_{3}\right|=\left|\frac{1}{z_{1}}+\frac{1}{z_{2}}+\frac{1}{z_{3}}\right|=1$, then find the value of $\left|z_{1}+z_{2}+z_{3}\right|$.

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

$\left|z_{1}\right|=\left|z_{2}\right|=\left|z_{3}\right|=1$ $\Rightarrow\, \left|z_{1}\right|^{2}=\left|z_{2}\right|^{2}=\left|z_{3}\right|^{2}=1$ $\Rightarrow\, z_{1} \bar{z}_{1} =z_{2} \bar{z}_{2}=z_{3} \bar{z}_{3}=1$ $\Rightarrow\, \bar{z}_{1}=\frac{1}{z_{1}}$, $\bar{z}_{2}=\frac{1}{z_{2}}$, $\bar{z}_{3}=\frac{1}{z_{3}}$ Given that, $\left|\frac{1}{z_{1}}+\frac{1}{z_{2}}+\frac{1}{z_{3}}\right|=1$ $\Rightarrow\, \left|\bar{z}_{1}+\bar{z}_{2}+\bar{z}_{3}\right|=1$ $\Rightarrow\, \left|\overline{z_{1}+z_{2}+z_{3}}\right|=1$ $\Rightarrow\, \left|z_{1}+z_{2}+z_{3}\right|=1$

Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations

Complex Number: Any number that is formed as a+ib is called a complex number. For example: 9+3i,7+8i are complex numbers. Here i = -1. With this we can say that i² = 1. So, for every equation which does not have a real solution we can use i = -1.

Quadratic equation: A polynomial that has two roots or is of the degree 2 is called a quadratic equation. The general form of a quadratic equation is y=ax²+bx+c. Here a≠0, b and c are the real numbers.
