    If  z  is a complex number, then \[z.\,\overline{z}=0\] if and only if

    A) \[z=0\]

    B) \[\operatorname{Re}(z)=0\]

    C) \[\operatorname{Im}\,(z)=0\]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Let  \[z=x+iy,\overline{z}=x-iy\] \[\therefore \] \[z\overline{z}=0\] Þ \[(x+iy)(x-iy)=0\]Þ \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}=0\] It is possible only when \[x\] and \[y\]both simultaneously zero i.e., \[z=0+0i=0\]
